Bray is a trick-taking game where players avoid cards. The objective of the game of Bray is to have the least amount of points when one player eventually reaches 100 points. Players don't want to end up with tricks containing hearts cards or the Queen of Spades (12 Points) which are worth points.

At the end of each round, players count the number of hearts they have taken as well as the queen of spades, if applicable. Hearts count as one point each and the queen counts 12 points.

The game is usually played to 100 points (some play to 50).
