Once a player leads a single card for the first trick, all other players must play a card of the same suit, if possible. If a player can't play on suit, they can play a card of any color — but after they do this, all subsequent players can play a card of either matching color (or possibly a third color if they have neither of the first two).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOnce all players have played to the trick, you see which color has been played most frequently in the trick. Whoever played the highest card of this color wins the trick.
