Q. What's the secret to playing your cards when using the "delayed reveal" bidding system?

A. What makes this system so challenging is not knowing what other players have bid. However you can surmise what their bids might be by paying close attention to the cards they play. Are they "ducking" tricks or trying to set-up or win tricks? Also watch what cards other players lead and note when they show that they are out of a particular suit. This information can be very helpful to you. The play of Wizards & Jesters can also provide clues. An early play of a Jester indicates a reluctance to play that suit...why? The early play of a Wizard may be to avoid a suit or to set up another card in that suit. And of course, being familiar with your opponents' style of play helps too.
