Page "French tarot" Paragraph 32

The player to the right of the taker leads the first trick, and the play proceeds counter-clockwise, with every player playing a card from his hand to the trick.

Tricks are evaluated in a similar fashion as other trick-taking games with a trump suit ; the highest trump, if played, takes the trick, and if trump is not played, the highest-value card of the led suit takes the trick.

Every subsequent trick is led by the player who took the last trick.

The leader of a trick can play any card they like.
