Same rules as above, always follow suit and play to win or you renege and put up the pot or the pot limit.

Also played 31 or Cadillac from time to time. For that game everyone started with 4 quarters. Lose a hand put up a quarter. Knock and lose a hand put up 2 quarters. Last person with money gets the pot. Then start over.

Still play bouree at the camp. Have camp suppers on Thursday nights year long. I keep a bag of quarters in my truck so I am always ready to play.

Grandpa has some bouree trophies he has won. Think one was from a tournament at casino.

we always just played spades at camp, that way you don't need $ and no feelings get hurt over who wins when your just paying for top scores. it also helps in keeping the camp experience always a positive one, after all, camp should just be about having fun and gambling for $ at camp can dampen that spirit sometimes unlike at the house where you go there just to gamble
