Belote (also known as klaberjass) is a popular two-player game played with a 32-card deck. A trump is named, and players play out tricks, scoring points for high cards and, at the end, for the "last trick." Declarations give the game its special flavor: terces and quartes of consecutive cards, as well as the "bella" — the king and queen of trumps in the same hand. It matters not only to win tricks, but to declare your combinations at the right time. On muta.pro, play with a friend using a room code or against a bot in your browser.
