Pandoer is a Dutch card game which shows certain resemblance to solo whist and klaverjas.
At the start of the game, each player puts ten of their cents into the 'pot', a community stack next to the middle of the table.
The player to the left of that round's dealer, the elder hand, starts by either naming a game they expect to succeed in, or passing, excluding the player from the remainder of the bidding round.
If all players pass before a single game has been bid, a process called 'husselen' will take place: the elder hand takes the watch card, shuffles the nine cards and gives each of the remaining players three of them.
During the first trick, the highest bidder and his teammate name the combinations they own after playing their card.
The player who overhonours states the name of the game plus his number of honour points, for example 'pandoer 50'.
At the end of the play, the teammate counts the points from the stack of cards they have collected.
After counting, the points for honours, marriage, the collected cards and winning the last trick are added together.
If the team did not score enough points, both members have to pay the amount that corresponds to the bid to the pot.
The playing team can earn a one cent bonus for each player for winning all tricks.
If the team win every single trick, both players are allowed to take 3 cents out of the pot.
If a person turns out to have discarded a card from a combination the player has used to overhonour a kereltje bid, he must also pay for his teammate, so 6 cents.
If they win every single trick together, both players are allowed to take 3 cents out of the pot.
If the proclaimer wins every single trick on his own, he/she is allowed to take 5 cents out of the pot.
[1] At the start of the play, the proclaimer announces a trump suit and a teammate according to the classical system (see Points games).
If a person turns out to have discarded a card from a combination that the player has used to overhonour the pandoer bid, he must also pay for his teammate, so 10 cents.
If the bid was a silent (piccolo) praatje, the opposing players are not allowed to communicate.
If the player turns out to have discarded a card from a combination he/she has used to overhonour the pandoer bid, it is considered a loss.
***All players show their cards before the start of the play and the highest bidder's opponents are allowed to communicate.
