A player may declare "Sura", when each of his hole cards is the right attitude to the relevant open cards, according to the following rules:

If the "Sura" was replaced by the player one card, none of the following players on their course can not change his card until to it again will return the course and he will not do it. When the action returns to the player, if he again is "Sura" he may declare it again, he opens his cards and the other players open their cards too. Then the players start scoring in their maps. Each player, except for the winner ( "Sur") is selected from each pair of cards one card and adds it to the value in a scorecard of their cards. If the amount of points a player reaches the account, which can be divided by 100, then 50 points is deducted from his account. Once finished the backup deck in its place put the discard pile and the game continues.

The game is played several times and the winner of several games played can be considered as the one who least of all pick up points. To do this, before the game the players set the border points by typing the player leaves the game. The player who will be the last not to have passed this milestone points is the winner.
