Trump

Trump reveal in 29: what to check

Separate the chosen suit from the rules for exposing it.

Basic reference

Pagat’s base version requires a player who cannot follow suit to ask for trump to be exposed. After exposure, trump can beat other suits. A player unable to follow suit is not automatically obliged to trump in that base version.

A meaningful variation

The same reference describes versions in which asking is optional, but the player who asks must trump if possible. Those instructions are not interchangeable.

Before your first hand

Write your reveal rule beside the app mode or reference title. During practice, pause when someone is unable to follow suit and identify which rule applies. Check the linked source for all exceptions.
