	Card Games: Trick Taking Games
		Games without trumps: the aim is to win tricks, a trick being won by the highest card played of the suit led, but there is no trump suit.
		Last trick group: the result of the game depends entirely on the last trick: the objective can be to win it, to avoid winning it, or to play the lowest card to it.
		Point trick games are so called because the cards have point values, and the result is determined not by the number of tricks taken, but by the total point value of cards taken.

	Tricks and Traps
		All tricks are for destroying the ego-centric fantasy that we actually exist, as the body/mind or anything else for that matter, and for freeing us from believing that there is such a thing as an individual 'self '.
		The point of this trick is to cause dis-identification with the individual memory pattern by becoming familiar with it: what we see is not us.
		Trick the mind into quiescence by listening to what is behind it.

	GameLow.com: Card Games>>Trick-taking games
		During each trick, every player puts one card from his or her hand into play-- there is no option of playing multiple cards, or of abstaining from the trick.
		Once each player has played a card to the trick, they are turned face down and removed from play: typically the winning player or partnership takes them, but in duplicate play, as at Bridge tournaments, the face-down cards remain in front of each player so the hand remains together for reuse.
		Each trick must contain one card per player, and hence a player unable to satisfy any other instruction is at liberty to play any card at all.

	Trick-taking game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During each trick, every player puts one card from his or her hand into play — there is no option of playing multiple cards, or of abstaining from the trick.
		Playing last to a trick is usually the most advantageous position, because the last player can react to the other players' decisions and can compute exactly the outcome of the trick for each of his possible plays.
		Winning the initial trick or intermediate tricks is of little consequence (although in Cắt Tê, one must win at least one of the first four tricks in the round to stay alive).

	Two-hand Pinochle

	USPC - Hearts and Other Trick-Taking Games
		If more than two players take no cards of the forbidden suit, or one player takes all 13, or each player takes at least one, no player wins; the deal passes, and the successful bidder on the original deal names the suit to be avoided, without bidding.
		In practice, the dealer does not take the turn-up into his hand, but leaves it on the pack until it is played; the dealer signifies this exchange by placing his discard face down underneath the pack.
		An alternative system is that each trick counts 5 points, and the score of the side taking the fewest tricks is deducted from that of the side taking the most tricks.

	Der Flaschenteufel Review
		After all, the history of trick taking card games is long and has produced some of the most popular games around the world—Bridge, Pinochle, Skat, and 500, to name just a few.
		First, it meets the trick taking card game criteria I expect as a result of playing Bridge—good play is more important to the outcome than luck of the cards over a reasonable number of hands, and there is plenty of room for clever card play.
		Either you win the trick with the 2 (and the player on your right is toast), or someone else plays a card under the current bottle imp price and you've removed the 2 from your hand.

		trick) because about half the time (assuming bidding doesn't suggest otherwise) your partner will have at least one of the touching honors and most of the time, you will get a trick from this combination.
		The formula doesn't take into account length of suits for NT play, so it is not particularly good for judging whether you have enough high cards to make 3NT with, say, an eight-bagger in clubs.

	Introduction to Period Card Games
		Simple trick-taking games are those where only the trick itself counts for points towards eventual victory; complex trick-taking games have a more complex system where some cards are worth special values if captured.
		Briefly, a trick is a round of the game where one person plays a card, then each player in turn plays a card to that set.
		The usual criteria for winning a trick is: the highest card that is the same suit as the first card led to the trick wins the trick.

	The Dice Tower - Trump, Tricks, Game!
		A deck of four trick cards are shuffled and placed upright on the table, to show the trump color of four rounds of the game.
		Once a player has won their three tricks, every card they play does not count in future tricks.
		This makes the THIRD round the most important in the game, as players must balance out their point taking with taking high cards - especially that of the trump color of the fourth round.

	Gambling Guide > Cards > Card Games > Trick-Taking Games
		Trick-taking games are card games in which play is divided into multiple rounds called tricks, during which each player plays one card from his hand, and the rules of the game determine which player wins that trick based on the cards played.
		The object of such games varies; it is often to win the most tricks, but it may instead be to avoid winning tricks, to win exactly a certain number of tricks, or to acquire (or not acquire) certain cards.
		In general, the player who wins the trick is the player who played the highest trump, or, if no trump is played, the player who played the highest card in the suit that was led.

		This is because they assume nothing, taking into account that perhaps the reader has never in their life played a trick-taking game before.
		Winning a trick is useful because it allows a player to control the next trick, but at the same time is only really nice if the trick won allows the player to take one of the cards needed for the set.

	Ambition
		Play to the trick occurs in a specific order: one person is obligated to lead (play first) to the trick, and after her, the others play in order by physical position (usually clockwise).
		How to choose the leader to the first trick is specified by each game's rules, and subsequent tricks are led by the winner of the previous trick.
		The team whose bid is highest takes an "active" role and can be rewarded for achieving the bid; the other team takes a "defending" role and tries to set the bidders.

	Renfield Review
		Cards taken in a trick are arranged in front of the taker such that all the bugs on them are visible.
		There can come a point in the hand where any card you play would take a trick for you, giving you far too many bugs to have any hope of winning and sucking money away in the process (because you have to pay the pot whenever you take a trick).
		But you need to have at least one card high enough to take a trick, and you’d like to be able to choose which trick that is. I haven’t quite figured out the best approach.

	RPGnet: Review of David & Goliath
		Afterward the highest card takes all the rest of the cards and will then lead the next trick.
		When you take cards you lay them out in front of you in neat rows, by suit, to help other people keep track of your current scoring possibilities.
		Sometimes it feels like you're playing Spades, trying to grab tricks, and sometimes it feels like you're playing Hearts, trying to duck them, but this variability is entirely organic thanks to the simple, but clever, scoring mechanism.

	Funagain Games: Margin for Error
		The winner of a trick is the player who plays the highest card of the suit that was led (there is no "trump").
		After either five point cards have been taken by one partnership or seven tricks have been played, the Goal card is turned over and revealed to their opponents, after which the round is played out.
		This is my favorite part of the game, as both sets of partners jab back and forth, with the Captain and his partner trying not to reveal their goal too early, and the other set of partners attempting to figure it out.

	Billabong Boardgamers: Mü review
		Bidding goes around the table, with players placing cards from their hand face-up on the table; there is a mapping between the number of cards you have played and how many points you hope to take during the trick-taking phase.
		Scoring is not done by tricks taken but by points on the cards in the tricks.
		Additionally, the cards with the most triangle points are not the highest in their suit, so playing to simply win tricks may not actually earn you many triangles.
