About Mendicot

Mendicot is a four-player Indian trick-taking game for two partnerships. You and the player opposite form one team; the left and right players form the other.

Deal and trump
  • A standard 52-card deck is dealt among four players.
  • After the opening five cards, choose a trump suit from the suits represented in your hand.
  • Trump cards beat cards from every non-trump suit.
Playing a trick
  • The leader plays any card.
  • Other players must follow the led suit when possible; otherwise they may play any card.
  • The highest card of the led suit wins unless trump is played, in which case the highest trump wins.
  • The trick winner leads next.
Tens and winning
  • The four tens are the most important scoring cards.
  • The first partnership to capture at least three tens wins the round.
  • If neither team captures three tens, the team winning at least seven of the thirteen tricks wins.
Controls
