the score ends when the first team reaches 351 points. In some cases, the limit can go up to 400 points if the players want to pursue a "lengthy" game, or correspondingly lowered to 251 and even 151 points if they are in a hurry, or just want to finish quickly. Usually one of the four players is responsible to keep the score for the whole game for the two teams. Bonus declarations In Pilotta there are some specific rules of play when it comes to scoring bonuses, called 'declarations' (Greek: δηλώσεις). Below are all of the possible bonus-earning declarations (from lowest to highest): Three in a row (20 points): this can be either 7,8,9 (of diamonds ♦ for example) and it gives 20 points. Belote (20 points): If the players holds the King and the Queen of the suit which has been declared as the leading suit, i.e. trumps, then he immediately score 20 extra points (When a player holds the Belote, nobody can deny him those extra 20 points, even if the opponent holds four Jacks, and even if the opponent makes a Capot©. Also, the player can declare the Belote whenever he melds it, not at the start of the first round as all of the others.) Four in a row (50 points): the same as having 7,8,9 with the only difference that the player need to also hold the 10 to complete four in a row, which scores 50 points. Five in a row (100 points): Holding 5 cards of the same suit in a row scores 100 points. Four of a kind (100 points): If the player is holding four Aces (A), four Kings (K), four Queens (Q) or four Tens (10), he immediately scores 100 points. Four nines (150 points): This is a special case; Nines give 150 points if the players holds all four nines. Four jacks (200 points): This is a special case; Jacks give 200 points if the player holds all four of them. Holding three cards in a row scores the same points (20) as if one had an Ace, a King and the Queen of the same suit, with the only difference that the sequence with the Ace is stronger than the one holding the 9 and would 'beat' the opponents' hand, therefore cancelling their 20 points and making the Ace's sequence the only valid one between the two.
