Sparrow: A Game of Triumphs is a trick taking game using four plain suits (black, green, red, and yellow) along with an extra suit of 22 triumphs or trump cards. The Sparrow is the lowest ranking triumph. Each player receives a hand of 12 cards with an additional six cards being dealt to the kitty. Players bid to become the declarer by stating how few cards they wish to exchange with the kitty. Sparrow is a point trick game. Each card is worth a point value indicated by the number of stars. Instead of trying to win the greater number of tricks, the declarer's side tries to win the majority of card points taken in tricks.
