DEFINITIONS: RAGE is a trick-taking card game, and the following definitions will be helpful to those unfamiliar with trick-taking card games.

•TRICK: Each player plays one card from their hand face up – this makes one trick.

•ROUND: A round (or hand) is made of the same number of tricks as each player

has cards to play. (example: A player starts with 5 cards = 5 tricks = 1 round)

•SUIT: A suit is made of cards of the same color (yellow, blue, red, green, orange and purple).

•LEADING: When a player starts a trick by playing a card, this is known as leading.

•FOLLOWING SUIT: After a player leads a card, the remaining players MUST follow suit, which means, each player must play the same color of card as that which is led, if they have one. If they cannot follow suit, they can play any card in their hand.

•TRUMP: If a player does not have a card of the color led for the trick, they may play a card in the trump color (the color of the card that is on the top of the Trump Pile), and thus win the trick. If several trump cards are played in a trick, the trump card with the highest value wins the trick.

•BIDDING: After the players have been dealt their cards, they consider how many tricks they plan to win this round (zero to the number of cards in their hand).

•WINNING THE TRICK: The player who played the highest card in the color which led the trick wins the trick, unless a trump card is played.Then the highest card in the trump color wins the trick.
