I'd like to add a game called 'Le Truc' to this list. It is described in 'The Penguin Book of Card Games', and is very similar to 'Truc in France' as described at http://www.pagat.com/put/truc.html#france Tom Huckstep 00:03, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Are the rules for card games being move to wikibooks? If not I suggest adding Trex, as it is a trick taking game.
Can I suggest also adding Twenty-Five, which is a trick-taking game in Ireland, the specific rules of which I can't remember and actually ended up looking for on this page?-- HeyImDan ( Talk) 14:33, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
I'd like to add a trick taking game called Fifty-Eight (58) to this list. The name refers to the number of total points that can be earned in one hand, not the number of cards used. While I don't know the origins of the game it is likely that it originated in Quebec. As far as I know, other than people we have taught it to, it is unique to my rather large family of French (in this country more than 400 years) and Irish (in this country about 200 years) decent people. It is one of those games that can be learned in only a few minutes of play but can take a lifetime to master. It is never played for anything but points and fun.

Doesn't this list duplicate Category:Trick-taking card games, and we would be much better served by ensuring that all of the appropriate games are included in that category, and then redirecting this list to that category? --Craw-daddy | T | 15:44, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Can anyone help me finding if we have an article on a card game for three with similar features as stated below.
Lots of card games are played under various names (also within the same language). This game is optional for tree players who can spare some 75 minutes or so, I would say.
I learned a very similar game as Tribello or "Trebello" possibly. But with slightly different rules, it's (locally where I live) known as Bismark (or "Bismarck"). I try to describe the main features and wonder if anyone knows an English name for it (or a very similar game):
High (like No Trump in Bridge)
Low (the opposite,aim is to not take any tricks or as few as possible)
Spades (Spades is trump otherwise taking as many tricks as possible)
Free , any trump suit can be chosen, and also High and Low. And often also
Tour, if Tour is "decided", then next player suggests a trump suit. This can be accepted by the "decider", but if not - the third player (= the dealer) must decide another trump.
If "the decider" takes 10 tricks, one opponent 5 tricks and the last player only one trick, the scoring becomes +2 (for 10 tricks as "decider") +1 (for 5 tricks) and -3 (for 1 trick). The 8-4-4 tricks to take, is used in all contracts but Low. If playing Low "decider" must just take 2 tricks and the two others 7 each. (There are no doubling or penalties etc) 8-4-4 or 2-7-7 is just the base for the scoring system. A scoring tally for all the contenders will hence always be zero.
If we haven't got an article on any game with similar features, I have sources for an article. Boeing720 ( talk) 17:27, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
