The obligation to play higher only applies if you are able to beat the card that is currently winning the trick.

The only case in which you are allowed to throw a card of a non-trump suit different from the led suit is when you have no cards of the suit led and no trumps.

If you have no card of the suit led, you must play a trump if you can, even if someone before you has already played a higher trump than yours.

The rule obliging you to beat the card currently winning the trick applies even if the card you are obliged to beat is your partner's.

The first played of two identical cards beats the second.

A common variation is to play cutthroat, where such passing of cards does not take place. The bidder incorporates those into the hand, then passes the same number of cards back.

Racehorse means that, after the winning bidder has named trump, that player's partner passes cards across the table.

One variation is that trump is determined by the final card dealt from the deck. The player winning the bid gets the right to name trump, but also has the responsibility to make sure the team earns the number of points bid.

Auction means that the privilege of naming trump is bid for amongst the players.
