&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Type of Game:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;/trump-and-trick-games&quot;&gt;Trump &amp;amp; Trick Game&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The games in this section are very different from those games categorized as &amp;quot;blocking&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;scoring&amp;quot; games. Tiles are not matched on the table to form a layout. Instead, they are ranked by suit; trumps are named; tricks are taken; and in all but one game in this section, players bid on their hand.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The most popular of all the what I call &amp;quot;trump and trick&amp;quot; games is the game of Forty-Two. Numerous bidding variations for the game of Forty-Two have been created-to name a few: Big Bertha; Cajun Hokey Pokey; Eagle Eye; East Lansing Deferred-Style Nillo; Follow Me; Inverted Low Boy; Low; Low Boy; Multiple Trumps Forty-Two; Naperville Onesics; Near-Seven; No Catchem; No Trump; Splash; and West Texas Rules. On this site there is a brief description of three bidding variations: Sevens, Plunge, and Nel-0 (sometimes spelled NiHo).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Unless otherwise indicated: one set of double-6 dominoes (28 pieces) is used.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The dominoes are shuffled, facedown, at the beginning of each hand.&lt;/p&gt;
