For one reason or another, players occasionally lose track of who won the previous trick. If a player neglects to remember that they are supposed to lead, a potentially long and embarrassing pause ensues until someone plucks up enough courage to ask that player whether they’re thinking about what to do next or if they’re spacing out.

More frequently, however, somebody leads out of turn, under the false impression that the action is on them. If this happens, the general rule is that the next player can accept that lead by following to the trick, if they want to do so. Alternatively, they may be so hypnotized by the sight of the card that they may genuinely think it’s their turn to play, so they follow suit innocently.

Either way, the general rule is that the next player’s following legitimizes the original mistake. However, some games state that up until the faulty trick is completed, if anyone spots the error, you still have time to pick the whole trick up and correct the error.
