SETUP 

To determine the initial dealer, have each player draw a card from the deck, the player with the highest-ranking card deals first. The deal passes clockwise. 

The deck is modified by removing cards ranked 6 and lower. This leaves you with a 32-card deck. The ranking is standard Ace (high), King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, and 7 (low).  

After, the cards are shuffled, and dealt to each player one at a time until each has the appropriate number of cards for the round. If playing with a trump suit that round the following card is flipped face-up, the suit of that card is the trump suit for that hand. This suit will beat all others. The remaining cards are left in a stack with the trump card on top. 

HANDS 

7-Truf is played with a series of 22 hands.  

The first deal is 1 card to each player, and increases by one card each until 7 cards is reached. For each of these rounds after the hands are dealt the top card of the remaining deck is flipped to determine the trump suit for the round.  

Then there will be four rounds played with 8 cards dealt to each player. There is no trump suit for these rounds.  

Then the next 7 rounds decrease. The first will be 7 cards dealt to each player and will decrease by one card each round until 1 card is dealt to each player. After hands are dealt the next card will be flipped to determine the trump suit.  

Finally, 4 more rounds will be played with 8 cards dealt to each player. There will be no trump suit for these rounds.  

BIDDING 

Bidding occurs before the tricks begin. 

Each round’s bidding starts with the player to the left of the dealer and moves clockwise back to the dealer, who bids last. Each player bids a number which indicates the number of tricks they predicate they will take with that hand. All players must bid; however, players may bid zero. If a player bids zero, the plan to take zero tricks. Players may change their bid if the opponent to their left has not yet bid. There is a hook, the dealer is not allowed to bid the number that would cause the total amount of tricks bid to be equal to the number of total tricks available. A hand shall always be and over or under bid. The dealer can change their bid until the first card is played.
