Instead, there are 2 phases. In the first phase players replenish their hands with cards from the stock. In Ukraine the game is considered favourite card game of high-ranking criminal convicts. 4 jacks = 200 pts., 4 queens, kings or aces = 100 pts. 2) Sequences: Sequence of 3 cards (terts) = 20 pts., Sequence of 4 cards (fifty) = 50 pts., Sequence of 5 or more cards = 100 pts. 3) Pair of the king and the queen in the same suit (marriage) = 20 pts. Four of a kind beats sequences. Longer sequence beats shorter one. Only the player with higher declaration scores points for it. Players can announce a declation when leading to a trick, but only after breaking the deck. They can declare only 1 declaration every trick. The last moment for declaring is first trick of the second phase. The only exception is marriage which can be declared and scored at every point.
