Rules of the game. This game is common in Syria and slightly less in Lebanon. Sometimes it is called "Four hundred", but why it is so unclear. The game is a couple, but the points are counted separately. The first deliverer is determined by lot or at will, in the next games the handler is the next player counter-clockwise relative to the last handler. The deck is carefully stacked and counter-clockwise, each player is dealt 13 cards each. After this, trades begin, in which each player announces once how many bribes he can take in the draw. Each player must claim at least one bribe. The sum of all declared bribes of players must be at least 11, if this amount is less than eleven, then all players fold their cards and the new agent begins to shuffle and hand over cards again. Each taken bribe to six inclusive brings one point for a bribe. If the player takes 7 bribes or more, then his points are doubled. For example, the player announced 7 bribes and took 7, then the player gets 14 points, if 8, then the player gets 16 points, etc. So, when all the players make the announcement, a draw of bribes begins. The first move belongs to the deliverer. The sender can go with any of his cards, the next player in a counter-clockwise direction must put a card of the same suit, if there is no card of that kind, then he can put any card or trump card, trumps are always worms. When each player puts on the card, then a player is identified who takes these cards (a bribe). The bribe is taken by the player who will put the highest card in the suit of the first turn card or the one that will put the senior trump card. Thus, all 13 bribes are played out. Then begins scoring. Players who have announced over 7 bribes, and have taken the same amount, receive double points. Players who have announced over 7 bribes and did not take the same amount receive minus points multiplied by 2. The player who announced taking 5 bribes and did not take them receives minus 5 points. The winner in the game is a player who will score 41 points or more. To score this number of points, several games are played.

Game Option

In Lebanon, play this game on slightly modified rules. Each player must announce the taking of at least two bribes and no more than 12. If the player's score is 30 to 39 points, then he must make an announcement of taking at least 3 bribes, if from 40 to 49 points, then he must announce the taking 4 bribes, and if from 50 or more, then you must announce the taking of at least 5 bribes. It is worth noting that this option is not up to 41 points, and up to 82 or 88 points. And yet, for the announcement and taking the claimed number of bribes, the following points are given: for 2 bribes - 2 points; 3 bribes - 3 points; 4 bribes - 4 points; 5 bribes - 10 points; 6 bribes - 12 points; 7 bribes - 14 points; 8 bribes - 16 points; 9 bribes - 27 points; 10 bribes - 30 points; 11 bribes - 33 points; 12 bribes - 36 points; 13 bribes - the whole game is won.
