Nap - Napoleon

Nap (Napoleon) is straightforward trick taking game in which players receive five cards each; whoever bids the highest number of tricks chooses trumps and tries to win at least that many. Nap is also a simplified relative of Euchre, and has many variations throughout Northern Europe. Players and Cards Nap is played by 4 players. 28 cards are used. The cards in each suit rank (from high to low) A K Q J 10 9 8 . Bidding 2 - the bidder undertakes to win at least 2 tricks. 3 - the bidder undertakes to win at least 3 tricks. 4 - the bidder undertakes to win at least 4 tricks. Nap (or Five) - the bidder undertakes to win all 5 tricks. Wellington - the bidder undertakes to win all five 5 (same as Nap, but for a higher reward). Play The high bidder leads to the first trick and the suit of this first card played by the bidder is trumps for the hand. Each trick is won by the highest trump in it, or if it contains no trumps, by the highest card of the suit led. The winner of each trick may leads to the next trick. In all tricks, players must follow suit, playing a card of the same suit that was led if they can. A player who has no card of the suit led is free to play any card - either trumping or discarding from another suit.
