e/Misère

Information
has gloss	eng: Misere or misère, French word for "poverty": equivalent terms in other languages include bettel, contrabola, devole, null, pobre. It is a bid in various card games, and the player who bids Misere undertakes to win no tricks or as few as possible, usually at no trump, in the round to be played. This does not allow sufficient variety to constitute a game in its own right, but it is the basis of such trick-avoidance games as Hearts and Black Maria,and provides an optional contract for most games involving an auction.
