Canadian Salad
Canadian Salad is a Canadian trick-taking game with a different goal for each hand. The goal is to avoid taking certain cards from the trick which accrue penalty points.
The player to the left of the dealer leads in the first trick. After, the winner of the previous trick leads in the next. A trick consists of each player playing a single card. Players should try and follow the suit of the first card played or led with. If you do not have a card from the suit led with, you may play any card in hand. The highest-ranking card from the suit led with wins or takes the trick, and they lead in the next trick.
There are no trumps. Remove the Jokers. Deal all cards so each player has even amount. Any leftovers are set aside.
