Thereafter, each player may pass or else pick up the talon and bid. Passing does not prevent the calling player from bidding again. The calling player may pick up the talon again if the other two players pass. A player who takes the talon must make a higher bid than the previous one, then lay any two cards face down on the table to re-form the talon. This continues until all players pass, after which the calling player announces the trump unless the game is "plain" or "Hearts", and the other two players become the defending team. All doubling takes place after the end of bidding and before the end of the first trick.
