Cutu is the Romanian whist with bidding: four players in two fixed partnerships sitting across from each other. Every hand deals 8 cards from a 32-card deck (7 up to Ace); everyone bids 4 to 8 tricks or passes, and the winning bidders must fulfil the contract as a team. If the opponents take zero tricks, that is a cutu — and the score doubles!

Cutu in a nutshell

Played with 32 cards (7–A), 8 to each of four players in two partnerships. Each hand starts with a round of bidding: 4 to 8 tricks or pass, strictly increasing. The highest bidder becomes declarer — at 5+ tricks they pick the trump suit (or no-trump); at 4 the trump is automatically their best colour. The declarer's team must take at least the bid: made = +bid (+1 per extra trick), set = −bid; defenders score +1 per trick over 4. If a team takes zero tricks, that is a cutu and the other side's points double. First team to 100 points wins.

How does the bidding work?

Each player bids once per hand: 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 tricks, or pass. Every bid must be strictly higher than the previous one; if everyone passes, the hand is redealt.

Points equal to the bid — a made contract of 5 scores +5, plus +1 for each overtrick. A set contract of 5 costs −5.
