Batak is a four-player trick-taking card game played with a 52-card deck, where you bid how many tricks you will take, pick trumps, and try to make your bid. Each player is dealt cards, and after the bidding the top bidder chooses the trump suit. Play then goes around in tricks: everyone must follow the suit that was led if they can, and the highest trump, or the highest card of the led suit if no trump is played, wins the trick. You must take at least as many tricks as you bid, or you go bust. There are 13 tricks in a hand, since 52 cards divide evenly among four players.
