[edit]- ^ The holder of a trader exchanges it for the exposed chosen card in the same suit. Traders have no value in themselves in the play. If you attempt to lead a trader to a trick, it behaves as though you exchanged it for the exposed card of that suit, and then led the card you had obtained. (pagat.com - Stýrivolt)
