Open Misare**

*Misére can only be bid if a 7-trick bid is active. Misére is considered
greater than any 7-trick but but lower than any 8-trick bid.
**Open Misére can be bid at any time unless 10-hearts or 10-No-Trump, which
are considered higher bids.
✝︎In some variations, Open Misére is worth 500 points.
