Who is the "elder hand"?
The elder hand refers to the first player to act or make a move in certain card games, particularly in trick-taking games. In many games, the elder hand is the player who sits to the dealer's left and plays their card first during each trick. The position of the elder hand can be important because it often sets the tone for the round, with the other players responding to the card played. In some games, the elder hand may have additional responsibilities or advantages, depending on the rules of the specific game being played.
Example
The elder hand must always play first, regardless of the cards in their hand.
As the elder hand, I had the opportunity to start the round with a strong card.
The elder hand decided to play the queen, hoping to draw out a high card from the opponent.
