How to play
- Teams: with 4 players you and the player sitting across from you are partners, and your team's captured cards are pooled. In 6 and 8 player games the default split is two big teams: 3 a side with 6 players, 4 a side with 8, with teammates sitting in every other chair. You can switch to Pairs instead if you prefer.
- Tricks: the leader plays a card, and everyone else must follow that suit if they can. The highest card of the led suit wins the trick, and the winner leads the next one.
- Trump: there is no trump at the start. The first player who cannot follow suit plays any card, and that card's suit becomes the trump for the rest of the round. Trump cards beat the led suit.
- The tens: every 10 your team captures is a point. Most tens wins the round. If teams tie on tens, the one that won more tricks (hands) takes it.
- Match format: the host picks Best of 3, Best of 5, or Best of 7 rounds before the match. The first team to win the majority of rounds (2, 3, or 4) wins the match, and the match ends as soon as a team gets there.
- Bigger games: 6 players use 2 decks with the 2s removed (16 cards each, 8 tens). 8 players use 3 decks with the 2s, 3s and 4s removed (15 cards each, 12 tens). Duplicate cards can appear; if two identical cards are played to one trick, the one played first wins.
- Teams: the same splits as Dehla Pakad: partners across the table with 4 players, and in 6 and 8 player games two big teams by default (3 a side with 6 players, 4 a side with 8) with teammates in every other chair, or Pairs if you switch. Your side's tricks pool together.
- Tricks: the leader plays a card, and everyone else must follow that suit if they can. The highest card of the led suit wins the trick unless a trump is played; the winner leads the next one.
- No prize cards: tens count for nothing here. Only tricks matter.
- Trump, Blind: there is no trump at the start. The first player who cannot follow suit plays any card, and that card's suit becomes the trump for the rest of the round.
- Trump, Regular: the player sitting next to the dealer calls the trump suit before any card is played, and the caller leads the first trick.
- Scoring: the side that wins the most tricks wins the round. Winning every single trick is a Court Piece, worth 52 rounds. If the trump-setting side fails to win any trick at all, that is a Gu Court, worth 52 Court Piece.
- Bigger games: 6 players use 2 decks with the 2s removed (16 cards each). 8 players use 3 decks with the 2s, 3s and 4s removed (15 cards each). Duplicate cards can appear; if two identical cards are played to one trick, the one played first wins.
- Teams: 4 players in 2 fixed partnerships. You and the player sitting across from you are partners, and your tricks pool together.
- The deal: a standard 52 card deck, 13 cards each. The first dealer is picked at random, then the deal passes after every hand.
- Bidding: bidding starts with the player next to the dealer and moves around the table. Each bid is a number of tricks from 7 to 13, and every bid must be higher than the one before it. You may pass instead, but once you pass you are out of the bidding for that hand. Bidding ends when only one bidder is left. If all four players pass, the hand is thrown in and redealt with the same dealer.
- Trump: the winning bidder names the trump suit (the tarneeb) and leads the first trick.
- Play: follow suit if you can. If you cannot, play any card: a trump or a discard. The highest trump wins the trick, or the highest card of the suit led when no trump is played. The trick winner leads the next trick.
- Scoring, bid made: on a bid under 13, the bidding team scores the tricks it took and the other team scores nothing.
- Scoring, bid missed: on a bid under 13, the bidding team loses the bid amount and the other team scores the tricks it took.
- Kaboot: take all 13 tricks on a bid under 13 and the bidding team scores 16.
- Bidding 13: take all 13 tricks and the bidding team scores 26. Miss, and the bidding team loses 16 while the other team scores double the tricks it took.
- The match: the host picks the match target before the game: first to 31, 41, or 61 points. Scores add up hand after hand, and the first team to reach the target wins the match.
