The four cards conventionally ranked immediately above the flipped one (or, in the case of a flipped 3, the 4s) become the strongest cards. Their rank is as follows: clubs > cups > swords > coins. This variant is popular because it makes it harder to cheat and can potentially turn a bad hand into a great one once the card flips.
The rules are almost identical to the French national card game belote and it is thus an Eastern European variant of the large Jass family. The rules of belot are close to those of belote, and its ancestor, Klaberjass, but with a few significant differences in each. The game is played by 2, 3 or 4 players.
Eldest hand is the first player dealt a 3 as an upcard. If no player has 3 face up, then the first player to declare a 3 in hand starts. If no-one has a 3, then the game is started by the person dealt a 4, etc. Eldest leads off by playing a card or set of cards face up in the middle of the table to start a common wastepile.
Rules can be changed here too: it can be agreed before the game starts that matching pairs be any two cards of the same rank, a color-match being unnecessary, or that the match must be both rank and card suit. The game ends when the last pair has been picked up. The winner is the person with the most pairs. There may be a tie for first place.
