Little BIDittle Game Summary
Little BIDittle is enjoyed by players new to card suits, trump, and basic trick taking concepts. The game can be played with 2-4 players ages 7-adult. Each player is dealt 7 cards, and partners work together to bid on the suit the player wants to define as trump. Players bid on how many tricks their team will make (contract level) based on the number of cards in the trump suit. Once a contract has been defined, all players participate in the game play - no dummy hand is introduced. This keeps all players "in the game". The BIDittle game board is used to keep track of the bidding history. Click here for 2-3 player game instructions
