Key points:
- After the contract is chosen, dummy rearranges the cards so that trumps are to the declarer's left.

Definition reminder: A deal means all the four hands, i.e. all 52 cards.
Key points:
- At the end of a trick each player places the card they played face down in front of themselves:
- vertically if they won the trick
- horizontally if they lost the trick.
This is sometimes referered to as 'soldiers and corpses'. - Saving the tricks as 'soldiers and corpses' is useful if we want to discuss the hands afterwards.
- It is also useful for teachers who want to use the same deal for different classes or at clubs where the same deal will be played at different tables.
- Collecting up the four cards in the trick is more common for some kinds of social games.
