  • Must-follow trick-taking — If you can follow the suit that was led you must play a card that matches that suit.
  • No lead when no legal cards — If no one can lead a trick, the hand ends and cards are discarded.
  • Season changes mid-trick — The current season can change in the middle of a hand/trick by playing a card of a different season.
  • Season following — You must follow the current season; you can only play cards that match the season if you have them.
  • Season retreat and season return cards — There are Season Retreat and Season Return cards that move the season forward or revert it to a previous season.
