Boerenbridge
Bid exactly, the highest bid names the trump
Every player bids exactly how many tricks they will take. Only an exact hit scores. From 1 card each up to 10, then back down to 1. Everyone bids first; then the highest bidder names the trump suit. Exact: 10 points plus 2 per trick. Missed: minus 2 for each trick too many or too few.
