Failing to win tricks equal to the number bid at the beginning of the game leads to decline in score.

The main objective of the call break game is to win equal to or more tricks than the number of tricks bid at the start if the game.

Call Break is a trick-taking or, in other words, hand winning card game. In the Call Break Game, the objective is to secure as many hands as possible or at least the number that the player bids before the game begins.

The four players are required to start the game without any partnerships. In the call break game, Spade is a predefined trump. The cards’ value is based on their face value, ranking in a high to low order; Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. 

After all the four players are seated, the dealer bears the responsibility of distributing 13 cards to each player.

Before the game begins, each player should select the hand values based on their possible winning hands. Each player makes a call or bids the number of tricks that they think they can win based on the cards in hand.

Once the 13 cards are distributed to the players, the first player to make a move is chosen randomly. The objective is to make minimum hands similar to the bid. The bids are numbers that represent the number of hands that a particular player bids to win. A player can bid between 1-13, with the lowest bid as 1 and the highest remains 13. Every player needs to make at least one bid.

The main objective is to make hands equivalent to the call or more than the call. In case a player doesn’t get even one trump or spade, then the cards will be distributed to all the players again.

The player to the dealer’s right is expected to lead the first hand. After that, the winner of each hand will lead the subsequent hands. Players have to play a card of the same suit that is being played during the current hand. In case they don’t have a card belonging to the suit that is played, they can use a trump card. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean you will win the hand.

For example, the player sitting next to the dealer plays an Ace of Hearts. After that, every player will have to play a card from the same suit unless they don’t have any. In such cases, the player without a card from the same suit can choose to play a trump card. If a player throws an Ace and no player has played a trump card, the player with the Ace card will win the hand.

You must play a higher value card than the cards that have already been played during the hand if you have one. If you don’t have a card with a higher value, you can play any card.

The call break rules for score keeping are based on the number of tricks a player wins.

If a player wins less tricks than they bid at the start, they lose points. For example, if a player bids 5 tricks and wins only 4 tricks, they will lose 50 points.

If a player wins equal number of tricks as they win, they win 10x points to the number of tricks. For example, if a player bids 5 tricks and wins 5 tricks, they will get 50 points.

If a player wins additional number of tricks than the bid, they gain extra points. The points increase by 1 for each extra trick won. For example, if a player bids 5 tricks and wins 7 tricks in the round (2 additional tricks), the players score will be 52. That is, 50 points for winning 5 tricks and 2 points for winning two extra tricks.
