Basics
The game begins with 32 cards. 10 cards are dealt to each of the 3 players and 2 cards remain face down to form what is known as the skat. Followed by the dealing is the auction, which is also the most important steps of the game.
Players get to determine who will play solo against the 2 other players by bidding. Whoever bids the highest gets to play solo and pick the trump suit.
The main objective of the solo player is not to win most of the 10 tricks, rather to win tricks containing as many card-points as possible.
