Rules of the game. Basra is a city in the southeast of Iraq, and is played in the entire Middle East, also in Egypt and Lebanon. Play 2 or 4 players, if 4 players, then pair by couple. The sender is chosen by lot or at will. The deck is carefully packed and 4 cards are dealt counter-clockwise for each player. The remaining deck is placed in the center of the table in a closed form. The first move belongs to the deliverer, he goes counter-clockwise to the player to his right. The player can enter from any of his cards. The next player counter-clockwise should take this card in the following way: put a card of the same value or put a card that is equal in value to the sum of the laid out cards on the table, for example, on the table lie cards 3, 4, 5, and the player put a nine, hence He can take it 4 and 5. The values ​​of the cards are the following: from 2 to 10 in value, jack - 11, the lady and king do not have numerical values, the ace is 1. If the player can not take any cards from the table with his own card, He puts it next to other cards already laid out on the table. After the player takes his other cards from the table with his card or simply puts it on the table for a draw, he takes one card from the remaining deck. It is not necessary to take cards from the table with your card during the course of your turn. There are exceptions to taking cards by the sum of their values. Ladies and kings do not have numeric values. The lady can only be taken by the king, and the king only by the seven of the bubi. Seven bubi can take all the cards lying on the table no matter how many cards on the table and what their values ​​are, this situation is called Basra. When all 52 cards are played, scoring of players starts. If 2 players are playing then the points are counted separately for each player. If pair play pair, then points are counted in pairs. A player or a pair of players who will take 27 or more cards get 30 points. If two players or both pairs of players take 26 cards each, then a draw is considered and the game is replayed. In addition, additional points are given: for 2 clubs - 2 points, for 10 bobi - 3 points, for Basra - 10 points.
