No-Trump Batak
Batak with no trump: beat the trick, take the most
No-Trump Batak — Kozsuz Batak in Turkish — strips batak down to pure card play: there is no auction and no trump suit, so the highest card of the suit that was led always wins. Follow the suit and beat the card on the table when you can; with none of that suit, any card goes. Every trick is a point, and a table can switch on calls for an extra edge.
