You can also adjust the game-winning score and bonus for taking the most tricks, among other customizable options.

Amazing game. I love the ability to make custom rule sets. Just wish I could play with family.

Would be nice to play online. Also would be nice if there were different levels of difficulty. If you play enough you can see the computers pattern.
