Deals, plays and says who the fool is. The bot's level runs from one to five and maps onto the engine's three rungs; the seed is anything, padded to thirty-two bytes, and it is printed at the end so a deal worth arguing about can be dealt again.
At a terminal the deal is one painted table that is redrawn in place: their hand face down, the talon with the trump card lying under it, the bout with each answer laid across the card it beat and every unanswered attack ringed, and your own hand fanned and numbered with the cards you may play right now in their own colour and the rest in grey. Through a pipe it prints plain lines instead, so a deal can be kept and read back.
