Karnöffel (part 2)

the deal

first, deal 1 cards to each player.  then, turn it up. the suit of the lowest  card of the 4 is the trump suit.
non trump suits rank  K-Q-J-10,9, 8,7,.......4,3,A (note the lack of 2s)
now. deal 4 more cards to each player.

play commences. first, the player to the dealers left plays a card. note it's suit 
then, the next player plays a card.
continue till everyone has played a card.
now.the highest card of the suit of the first card played, wins the 3 others. 

this is the rule so long as no trumps are played. now, the trumps follow a really odd sequence. 

the JACK is the top trump. it beats all others.
the SEVEN is the next highest, provided it is the first card played. otherwise it is powerless!
the 6 is the third highest.
then comes the ACE ( it beats any king played
the 3, (beats any queen, but nothing above it, along with the previously stated cards)]
then the 4,(which beats jacks >,)
then the 5. which only beats number cards

the winner of the first trick plays the first card(leads) the next

happy playing!
