Direct answer

What is Bahraini Kout?

Bahraini Kout is a partnership trick-taking card game. Two teams bid for a contract, choose Hukm as the trump suit, then compete for tricks. KoutBH follows the Bahraini rules verified in its game engine.

Four players or six

KoutBH supports Kout4 and Kout6. Partners occupy alternating seats, so each player sits opposite a teammate. Every player receives eight cards.

Bid. Call Hukm. Take the contract.

Bidding runs from Bab 5 through Six 6, Seven 7, and Inzili 8. The winning bidder chooses a Hukm suit. The bidding team then tries to take enough of the round’s eight tricks.
