== Stud Truco ==

Players: 2, 4 or 6

Deck: Piquet Deck (32 cards 7 to A)

Card Ranking: High-to-Low AKQJT987

Deal: Each player gets 3 cards, 2 face down and 1 face up

after all cards are dealt the top card is turned up and indicates which card

will be trump.

Trump Rule: The trump is the next higher up in rank card to the turned up card.

E.g. If 8 was turned up 8 will be trump, If A was turned up 7 will be trump.

Play: Play follows exactly like Truco with the exception of Envido

Envido: Any 2 cards in a hand of the same suit or a pair can be "vied",

if more than 2 are of same suit, or you have a triplet, just count the top 2 highest.

For vying, the score of a envido is

(i) For a flush(two cards of same suit)

sum of the points for the two cards plus Twenty.

(ii) For a pair the value is the sum of pair multiplied by 2*

Face cards count - 10, A is always 1, number cards count face value
