i. Make your knave as soon as you can. ii. Secure your tens by playing any small cards, by which you may throw the lead into you adversary's hand. iii. Win your adversary's best cards when you can, either by trumping or with superior cards. iv. If, being eldest hand, you hold either ace, king, or queen of trumps, without the knave or ten, play them immediately, as, by this means, you may chance to win the knave or ten.
