is a social card game and was highly popular in the United States until around 1920 when first auction bridge and then contract bridge drove it from favour. Contestants who are deaf or hearing-impaired are allowed to have an interpreter on the set, who may interpret between spoken words and sign language. The game play is similar to a No-trump game in that the Joker is the only trump card and may only be used if the player cannot otherwise follow suit.

The common strategy is that the two players who are unsuccessful in bidding form a temporary alliance in an attempt to force the other player to lose their bid. The game is played the same way as before just using the 90 second timer instead of the 20 second timer (the sand timer is placed on its side to pause the game whilst the QM is writing in the letters and adding the markers).
