In the first course (Duck), both of you, after playing to a trick, draw the top card of stock to restore your hands to thirteen.
At the end of the Duck course, as soon as the last card has been drawn from stock and before the next trick is led, you both note the scores you have made so far, counting one for each face-down trick and two for each face up.
For example, if in the Duck course you took 6 tricks for 7 points, and in the Soup course you took 5 tricks for 8 points, your final score will be 7 x 8 = 56.

 Recipe: GAME DUCK SOUP WITH PLUMS AND WILD RICE
To make the soup, melt a Tablespoon or two of the duck fat in a large saucepan, then toss in the mushroom quarters and onion chunks to saute over medium heat.
When the onion is transparent, add the duck stock (which should be gelatinous); cooked wild rice; and the duck meat, cut into hearty chunks.
If you wanted to be just horribly decadent, you could saute the liver with finely chopped onions, salt and pepper it, even flame it in brandy, and puree it--then cool it to room temperature, whip it into 1/4 to 1/2 cup of butter and serve it with the bread.
