The Play
The player to the right of the dealer leads first, known as "palo de salida". Any card may be played, but suit must be followed if possible, otherwise, trump must be played, and the winner of each trick then leads to the next. The tricks are stored face down in front of one of the members of each team, and they can not be consulted, except for the last trick played. Each trick is won by the highest card played, the highest trump played, or if a no-trump contract is played, by the highest card of the suit led.
