What is "catch the ten"

Catch the Ten is a point trick-tacking card game which first appeared in The American Hoyle of 1868 and is alternatively called "Scotch Whist", although evidence shows that it is in fact of German origin. Unlike standard whist, it is played with a deck of only 36 cards, with Six (low) up to the Ace (high) of each suit. The order of trumps has the Jack high.
