How to play Rung

Four players in two teams; partners sit opposite. Play goes to the right (anticlockwise). Aces are high.

The rung

The dealer gives everyone five cards. The player on the dealer's right is the caller: they choose trumps (the rung) from those five cards. Then everyone gets eight more cards, four at a time.

Tricks

The caller leads first. You must follow the led suit if you can; otherwise play anything. The highest trump wins, or else the highest card of the led suit. The winner leads next.

Winning a deal

  • First team to seven tricks wins the deal.
  • Taking the first seven tricks is a court. The court team may play on: all thirteen is a 52-court.
  • Points: caller's team scores 1 for a deal and 3 for a court; the other team scores 2 and 4.
  • The dealer always comes from the team that lost the deal.

Double Sir

Tricks pile up in the middle. A player takes the whole pile only by winning two tricks in a row. The 13th trick takes whatever is left. A court needs all thirteen tricks.

Hidden Rung

The caller places a trump card face down. A player who can't follow suit may ask to see it, and then must trump if they can. Cards played before the reveal never count as trumps.

Picking and playing a card

Click a card to pick it, then click it again to play it. On a phone, slide your finger along your hand to pick a card, then tap it again (or flick it up).
