GAMEPLAY

Ambition follows the typical trick-taking game rules. Each player will place one card, face up, into the trick in a clockwise order. The winner of the trick will lead to the next trick. If a player is able to play in the follow suit, they have to do so. The trick is one by the highest ranking card in the follow suit.

After the trick is completed, the cards are collected and placed face down near the winner. The rounds consist of thirteen tricks. At the end of the round, scores are tallied. If a player has reached at least 100 points at the end of the round, then the game comes to an end. If no player has reached 100 points, then another round is played.

Points taken in tricks are not the same as points scored, and the goal is to score 100 points. If any single player has taken 51 points or more, then they score 40 points and all other players score nothing.

If no player has taken 51 points, then scores are tallied differently. If a player takes no tricks, they score 20 points. If two players take no tricks, then they each get 10 points. If a player takes tricks, but they are less than 10 points, they get no points. A player earns more than 10 points, but isn’t the highest, then they score the points that were taken. If a player takes the most points, then they score 0 points.
