Tricks

When stock is not empty second player can play any card.
If the stock is empty second player must follow the suit played. If he has no cards in that suit he must play the card from trump suit. If he has no cards in suit played or trumps he can play any card.
If no card of the trump suit is part of the trick, the trick is won by the higher ranking card of the suit that was played first. Otherwise the trick is won by the higher ranking trump.
After the cards from the trick are collected, each player takes one card from the stock (winner first).
