حکم

Rules in short. Partners sit opposite. The first player dealt an ace becomes Hakem. The Hakem sees 5 cards and names the trump (hokm), then everyone gets 13. The Hakem leads; you must follow suit if you can, otherwise play anything. The highest trump wins, or else the highest card of the suit led. First team to 7 tricks wins the hand: 1 point, 2 for Kot (opponents won no tricks), 3 if the Hakem's team is Kot'd. If the Hakem's team loses, the deal passes to the next player. First team to 7 points wins.
