About T-Rex

Many regard this game as a trick-taking game, however that would be a very liberal interpretation of trick-taking. Players are each given an equal set of cards, which they randomly pick a hand of seven. Each hand one suit is a trump suit, and one suit is a non-trump suit. Players place one of their cards in front of themselves, and this continues until the hand ends.
