Once all players have their cards in hand, and the bidding phase ends, if you declared the strongest contract, you'll receive the Chien (Dog):

  • 6 cards in the 3 and 4-player variants,
  • 3 cards in the 5-player variant. 

You'll now have to build your Aside by discarding the cards you don’t need. Here’s how:

  • Click on each card you want to discard. These will appear in the card field above your hand.
  • Confirm your selection by clicking the green "Continue in xxs" button.

Note: If you’re aiming for a Slam, check the "Slam" box before proceeding!

Important Rules to Remember

🔹 On Tarot Classique, we strictly follow the official French Tarot Federation (FFT) rules. You can review them here 👉 FFT Rules.
🔹 No changes are made to the Aside once it is formed. This is an essential rule that we consistently adhere to.
🔹 Validate your choice! If you don’t confirm your discard selection, the system will automatically discard cards for you.
🔹 Double-check your Aside! At the end of each game, you can consult the point counting screen to confirm the Aside used. Simply click on the "Dog's paw" icon located on the right side of the screen.
