What is Kout Bo 6?
Kout Bo 6 is a card game for six players in two teams of three. Seats alternate between the teams around the table, so every player sits between two opponents, and partners are every second seat.

The Kout Bo 6 deck
48 cards: 3 through Ace in four suits, without the 3 of Diamonds, plus one Joker. Every player gets 8 cards and none are left over. 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, and the three partners work for the tricks they promised out of 8.
Scoring and winning
A made bid scores 5, 6 or 7 points for its team; a failed bid gives the other team double. Online matches go to 31 points, and Inzili decides the match at once.
