Page "Forty-fives" Paragraph 56

* Begging with the King is a lesser used rule.

In this case the player with the King of trumps ( providing no-one before him / her has robbed the card with the Ace ), puts down the card he wishes to lose and leaves it there until the first round of tricks has been played.

If no-one robs with the Ace, the holder of the King takes the card from the top of the deck in the 2nd round of tricks.

Note: The kings ranking does not change when this rule is applied.

The Joker, 5, J, AoH and Ace of trumps are still stronger than the King.
