NAPOLEON , a round game of cards
cards
whist
rule
option of either declaring to make more tricks or passing, and so on all round. A declaration of five tricks is called " going Nap." The player who declares to make most has to try to make them, and the others, but without consultation, to prevent him. The declaring hand has the first lead, and the first card he leads makes the trump suit. The players, in rotation, must follow suit if able. If the declarer succeeds in making at least the number of tricks he stood for he wins whatever stakes are played for; if not he loses. If the player declaring Nap wins he receives double
Wellington " over " Nap," and even "Blucher " over" Wellington ." In these cases the caller of " Wellington " wins four times the stake and loses twice the stake, the caller of " Blucher " receives six times and loses three times the stake. Sometimes a player is allowed to declare misere, i.e. no tricks. This ranks, as a declaration, between three and four, but the player pays a double
trick
