Supertrump

This two player trick-taking game combines elements of German Whist and Watten and offers scope for strategic play. At the start of play, one player chooses a trump suit and another chooses "supertrump," i.e. chooses a single rank of cards (two through Ace) that becomes part of the trump suit and beats all other trumps. The game is played in two stages. After each of the first 13 tricks the players replenish their hands from a draw deck; each trick won at this stage counts for 1 point. The second set of 13 tricks is then played out, with each trick won during this stage counting for 2 points. Detailed rules can be found in a forum posting below.
