The trump suit selection begins with the participant, who has created the table, except for “game from 1” tables, when the suggestion of trump suit selection is offered randomly, no matter which one of the participants has created the table. He must choose the trump from all suits. If the forehand passes, the opponent takes his turn to choose. When the choice is made, the remaining 4 cards get open. If the second participant also doesn’t make a choice, the remaining cards get open in any case, and the selection goes on with open cards. The forehand has a second chance to choose the trump suit. If somehow, the forehands don’t choose the trump for the second time, the system makes the second player to make an obligatory choice.
In any case, the forehand starts the game.
