Fifty Six Void Suit Choice: Trumping Is Optional

A Fifty Six void suit choice allows any card when you cannot follow the led suit. Having a trump does not force you to use it.

A Fifty Six void suit choice allows any card when you cannot follow the led suit.

Having a trump does not force you to use it.

Diamonds are led, you hold none, and a teammate currently leads the trick.

You may discard a club instead of spending a heart trump.

Players still to act could change the outcome, so the choice depends on position and remaining cards.

Before using a Fifty Six void suit choice, confirm the suit is genuinely absent.

Holding even one diamond in this example requires following diamonds, regardless of the tactical appeal of another card.
