How to Play Klaverjassen | a Dutch trick taking card game

This is how to play Klaverjassen, a Dutch trick taking card game for 4 players. Usually played in partnerships, each team is trying to be the first to reach 500 points or more. Once a trick is lead, players must follow the lead suit if they can. If they cannot follow suit, they must play a trump card. If they cannot follow or play trump, they may play any card. If the trump suit is led, players must follow suit AND they must be the highest card played if they can. Once an off-suit trump card is played, other players who can't follow suit must beat the trump card if they can.

Or you could do a mandatory play...where the player next to the dealer has to play but may choose the trump...this is very good to learn to play risky hands...

Thanks for the explanation, only 1 remark regarding the bonus points, according to most rules it is upon the team that makes trump to decide or they will call the bonus points, sometimes it can happen that the trump making team realises that they are on "mission impossible" and since a losing team will also lose the bonus points, they will not call them, this will be especially in the case of "stuk", king and queen of trumps normally worth 20 points. Keep in mind that in the Netherlands there are 3 major variants of Klaverjas, Rotterdams, Amsterdam and Utrecht, the main difference is in how to follow Trumps. Also a spectacular variant is "Kraken", this is a variant often played for money/drinks where the trump system works different and a random card is selected as trump and where a bidding system comes in play, if one party decides that they would play trump, the other party can overbed and decide: I can do better, this is called a: kraak, this will mean they play for double scores.
