The five of the trump suit is called the Right Pedro, and the five of the same color as the trump suit is called the Left Pedro. They are each worth five points each, bringing the total amount of possible points won up to fourteen.

Setup of Cinch

In Cinch, the players draw cards to determine their partners, the two highest playing against the two lowest. The highest card drawn determines the first dealer, who deals nine cards to each player in groups of three. The remaining cards are placed face down on the table to be used later on in the game.

After the deal, a round of bidding occurs. Each player has one chance to bid or pass, starting with the player to the dealer’s left. If you choose to bid, you state the number of points that you believe your team can make within that hand. The minimum bid is one point, and the maximum bid is fourteen points. Each player may make a bid higher than the previous bid. The player with the highest bid names the trump suit without consulting his partner. If the first three players pass, the dealer may name the trump suit but is not obligated to take a minimum number of points.

Playing the Hand

Play starts with each player discarding a minimum of three cards, face up to the dealer. If a player discards more than three cards, the dealer then deals enough cards, face down, to bring the player’s hand back up to six cards. You may not discard any trump cards unless you have more than six trumps in your hand. In that case, you may only discard three cards. When it is the dealer’s turn to discard his cards, he may “rob the pack” and choose any cards out of the remaining stack that he wishes.

The player who made the highest bid leads the first trick by laying down any one card in his hand face up on the table. Play continues to the left, and when it’s your turn, you must follow suit (if able) or lay down any other card in your hand. The highest card in the suit led, or the highest trump, wins the hand and that player leads the next trick. After all six tricks have been played, each team adds up the points collected in their hand for High, Low, Jack, Game, Right Pedro, and Left Pedro. If the high bidder’s team scored the number of points bid, they win the difference in points between their hand and their opponent’s hand. If they failed to score the number of points bid, the opponent’s team scores the number of points that they collected, plus the original number of points that the high bidder’s team bid. If the dealer selected a trump without a bid, the team with the most points scores the difference in their points and their opponents’ points. The first team to fifty-one points wins the game.
