Trick-taking games are a type of
card games, and include
bridge,
spades, and
hearts.
The basis of these games is the trick, a round in which each player plays a card from his hand. The highest trump played wins the trick, or if no trump was played, the highest card from the suit of the card that was led (played first) wins the trick. The player who played that card leads to the next trick. Players must follow suit if possible.
