Ramsch is an undertaking to win all five tricks and is the equivalent of Rams or Rounce in Rams. If ramsch is announced, everyone has to play; no-one may drop out.
Players must follow suit, trump if unable and head the trick if possible.
Players earn one fifth of the pot for each trick taken. In the case of a successful ramsch, the winner gets the pot and five chips from each player. If he loses, he doubles the pot and he pays each player five chips. The ramsch breaker, however, gets no additional bonus.
In some places, the ♦7 / 7 is the permanent, 2nd highest trump.
