Priffe or Preference is a classic Swedish, trick-taking card game for four players who form two teams of two.
Together with Vira, Priffe was one of the most common card games in Sweden until superseded by Bridge.
[1] The aim of each team is to win as many tricks as possible in a trump or suit game.
In the misère contract, called Noll, the goal is to take as few tricks as possible.
In 1949, Bridge players Werner and Sandgren proposed that a system with "honour tricks" (Honnörsstickstabell) be used in bidding.
Forced Noll - everyone passed, and teams now aim to take as few tricks as possible 2.
It is more important for the declaring side to take more (or fewer in a Noll) tricks than the other team, as the defenders get twice as many points if they manage to take more (or fewer in a Noll) than half of the tricks.
The number of deals that are played by a team before rotation may therefore vary during the game.
In a Noll, each trick below 7 scores 10 points; double if the declarers lose.
The losers subtract their total from that of the winners and the result is divided by ten.
