14 Should he play sans appeller, though he may have a sure game, he is compelled to name his suit; if he does not, though he shows his cards and says, "I play sans appeller," either of the players can oblige him to play in which suit he chooses, though he should not have a trump in that suit. 15. No player is compelled to trump, when he is not possessed of any of the suit led, nor obliged to play a higher card in that suit if he has it; although he is the last player, and the trick belongs to the ombre; but he is compelled to play in the suit led if he can, otherwise he renounces. Should he separate a card from his game and show it, he is compelled to play it; if by not doing it, the game should be prejudiced, or give any intelligence to his friend, but particularly if it should be a matadore. He who plays sans appeller, or by calling himself, is not subject to this rule. 16. One player may turn the tricks made by the others, and reckon what has been played; but only when it is his turn to play. Should he, instead of turning a player's tricks, turn and see his game, or show it to the other players, he is basted, together with him whose cards he turned; each paying a moiety to the loss. 17. He who renounces is basted as often as detected; but no renounce takes place till the trick is turned. Should the renounce be discovered before the deal is finished, and has proved detrimental to the game, the cards must be taken up again, and the game replayed from that trick where the renounce began. But should all the cards be played, the bast still is made, and the cards must not be replayed, unless there should be several renounces in the same deal. In this case they are to be played again, unless the cards should have been previously mixed together. When several basts appear in the same deal, they all go together, unless a different agreement is made; and in cases of basts, the greatest is first reckoned. PARTICULAR GAMES.
