Your side has won this trick. Which Heart do you put in?
Answer
The C
. The three Defenders pool their tricks, and P3’s IV takes this one because you play last, so butter it with your fattest Heart. The C
adds 3 Card Points, the J
2, and the 1
is empty.
Rule: When your side has already won a trick, you should play a card with many pips into it.
