About the game

Daytime Minutes is a might-follow trick-taking game. Up to two different suits can be played into a trick, and the winner of each suit collects all cards of that suit. Players want to collect minutes on cards to try to get as close as possible to the plan limit without going over. If someone goes over, they incur overage charges and lose a point! But the player who captured the fewest minutes also loses a point. Each third trick is an evening call, and all cards played into the trick are discarded.
