The 7-card in each suit is called Boss Yokai.

• Divide into two teams of two (in 3-player game, it's all against each other).
• Shuffle the deck and deal 12 to each player face down (16 with 3 players). Place the last card face up in the middle. This card determines the trump suit.

• Player who has the [A] card starts the first round.
• If [A] is trump card dealt face up, player with [K] starts.
• Starting player plays any card from their hand.
• Other players must follow suit if they can. If they can't, they can play any card from their hand.
• Winning a trick
• If [A] was played, [A] wins the round
• If trump suit was played, highest of those wins
• Otherwise the highest of the lead suit (first card played) wins
• Winner takes all the cards, places any [7] face up in front of them and others into a pile (with each trick as its own pile)

• The game ends if at the end of a round, one of the following is true:
  1. Any team has 4 Boss Yukai ([7]) in front of them -> they win (in 3-player game, 3 Boss Yukais)
  2. Any team has won 7 tricks -> they lose
  3. Players have no more cards in the hand -> player who won the last trick wins

• Winner scores 1 point. Game ends when a team has 2 points.

Advanced Scoring
