HandThe term "hand", as applied to card games, signifies primarily the number of cards dealt to each player. It has, however, two meanings, being also applied to (2) the person playing such cards, and (3) the play of the cards dealt at one time to all the players. For example, in the game of Bridge:-- (1) The thirteen cards dealt to each player are known as his hand. (2) The player to the left of the dealer is known as second, or eldest hand, the next player as third hand, and the player to the right of the dealer as fourth hand. (3) When all the cards are played the hand is finished. Heading The Trick.--In some games each player is required, not merely to follow suit, but, if he is able to do so, to play a card superior to any previously played to the trick. This is known as "Heading the trick". |
