7-8: Seven Is Enough for the Dealer, Not the Caller
The dealer's target is seven of fifteen tricks; the non-dealer, who chooses trump, aims for eight. The roles carry different requirements within the same deal.
The dealer's target is seven of fifteen tricks; the non-dealer, who chooses trump, aims for eight. The roles carry different requirements within the same deal.
Record both the dealer and the running trick count. A seven-trick result meets one role and misses the other. Near the finish, calculate the remaining requirement from your role instead of assuming both players are chasing an identical majority target. The total fifteen also helps detect a missed or double-counted trick.
