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.
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.
