Quadrille (card Game) - Laws of The Game

Laws of The Game

1. The cards are to be dealt by fours and threes, and in no other way. The dealer is free to begin by four or three. If in dealing there is a faced card, there must be a new deal unless it is the last card.
2. If there are too many or too few cards, it is also a new deal.
3. No penalty is inflicted for dealing wrong, but the dealer must deal again.
4. If you play with eleven cards you are beasted.
5. He who has "asked leave" is obliged to play.
6. No one should play out of his turn; if, however, he does, he is not beasted for it, but the card played may be called at any time in that deal, provided it does not cause a revoke: nor either of the adversaries may demand the partner of him who played out of his turn, or his own partner, to play any suit he thinks fit.
7. No matadors can be forced but by a superior matador, but the superior forces the inferior, when led by the first player.
8. Whoever names any suit for trumps, must abide by it, even though it should happen to be the worst suit.
9. If you play forced Spadille, or have matadors, you are to demand them before the next dealer has finished his deal, otherwise you lose the benefit.
10. If any one names his trump without "asking leave", he must play alone, unless youngest hand, and the rest have passed.
11. If any person plays out of his turn, the card may be called at any time, or the adversaries may call a suit.
12. If the person who won the sixth trick plays the seventh card, he must play the vole.
13. If you have four kings, you may call a queen to one of your kings, or call one of your kings, but you must not call the queen of trumps.
14. If a card is separated from the rest, it must be played, if the adverse party has seen it; unless the person who separated it plays forced Spadille.
15. If the King is called, or his partner play out of turn, no vole can be played.
16. No one is to be beasted for a renounce, unless the trick is turned and quit, and if any person renounces, and it is discovered, if the player should happen to be beasted by such renounce, all the parties are to take up their cards and play them over again.
17. Forced spadille is not obliged to make three tricks.
18. The person who undertakes to play the vole has the preference of playing before him who offers to play forced Spadille.
19. The player is entitled to know who is his King called before be declares for the vole.
20. When six tricks are won, the person who won the sixth must say: "I play, or I do not play the vole," or "I ask", and no more.
21. He who has passed once has no right to play after, unless be has Spadille, and he who asks must play, unless somebody else plays forced Spadille.
22. If the players show their cards before they have won six tricks, they may be called.
23. Whoever has "asked leave", cannot play forced Spadille, unless he is forced.
24. Any person may look at the tricks when he is to lead.
25. Whoever, playing for a vole, loses it, has the right to the stakes, forced Spadille and matadores.
26. Forced Spadille cannot play for the vole.
27. If any person discovers his game he cannot play the vole.
28. No one is to declare how many trumps are out.
29. He who plays and does not win three tricks, is basted alone, unless he played forced Spadille.
30. If there are two cards of a sort, it is a void deal, if discovered before the deal is played out.
