The Kout Bo 4 deck
32 cards: 7 through Ace in four suits, without the 7 of Diamonds, plus one Joker. Every player gets 8 cards, so the whole deck is in the players' hands. More on the Kout cards page.
Bidding and Hukm
Bidding starts at باب Bab (5 tricks), then Six, Seven and انزلي Inzili (8). The highest bidder chooses Hukm from a suit in hand. With the whole deck shared between four, you can work out what each player still holds.
Scoring and winning
A made bid scores 5, 6 or 7 points for its team; a failed bid gives the other team double: 10, 12 or 14. Online matches go to 31 points, and Inzili decides the match at once.
