ALL-FOURS, known in America as OLD SLEDGE, or SEVEN UP, is usually played
by two players, with the full pack of fifty-two cards, which rank in play
as at Whist, the ace being the highest, and the two the lowest. The game is
seven points.
There are four different items which count towards the score, whence the
name _All-Fours_. Such items are as follows:
_High._--The highest trump out, scoring one to the original holder.
_Low._--The lowest trump out, scoring one to the original holder.
_Jack._--The knave of trumps, scoring one to the dealer, if turned up; if
otherwise, to the winner of the trick to which it falls.
_Game._--Scoring one to the ultimate holder of the more valuable cards in
the tricks won by him, according to the following scale:--
For each ten (trump or otherwise) 10
For each ace " 4
For each king " 3
For each queen " 2
For each knave " 1
{2}
N.B.--In the case of the players being equal in this particular, or of
neither party holding any card which counts towards Game, the elder
hand scores the point.
