Trump Card

In most games where the score is made by trick an exceptional winning value is given for the time being to one other of the four suits. The selection is usually made as follow The dealer, having dealt to each player his prescribed number of cards, turns up the card next following, which is known as the "turn-up" or "trump" card, and the suit indicated by such card becomes the " trump suit " for the time being, the three other suits being known as lay suits. Where, as in Bridge, the whole of the cards are distributed, the trump card belongs to the dealer. The above mode of determining the trump suit is not universal. In some instances, as in Euchre, Boston, Solo Bridge, Solo, and Skat, a given player has, under certain circumstances, the right to name the trump suit. In others, as in Napoleon, the first card led determines the trump suit.
