To win the trick, however, a card of equal rank to the led card must be played or, alternatively, any Seven. The trick winner is the last player to play an equal-ranking card or Seven. If the winning card is played by an opponent of the player who led, the latter may continue the trick by playing another equal-ranker or Seven. The other players must now all play a card. This may continue for further rounds of the same trick. The number of trick rounds therefore depends on the player who led. *Example: An Eight is led to the trick. After four cards have been played, the player who played the last Eight or a Seven wins the trick unless the first player has another Eight or Seven when he may play that and the others must now all play another card. After each trick, players replenish their cards so that they always have four. Once the talon is exhausted, the game continues until the remaining cards have been played out. Then the game is over and the players count up their points. Partners may communicate as follows: * ''Ubij'' ("kill") - take the trick * ''Pusti'' ("let it go") - let our opponents take the trick * ''Napuni'' ("fill it") - smear the trick because I will win it.
