GAME RULES

Trump Selector:

At the start of the first round of 7-8 (Seven Eight) Card Game, it is decided randomly who will select the trump. After the first game, both players alternatively select the trump.

Objective of 7-8 (Seven Eight) Card Game:

The player who selects the trump has to make more than 8 tricks to win while the other player has to make more than 7 tricks to win the game. If the player who selects the trump makes 8 hands, while the other player makes seven hands then it is a draw.

Dealing of Cards in 7-8 (Seven Eight) Card Game:

A set of 5 cards each is dealt to the player who will call the trump and the opposite player respectively. 5 cards are put face down in a sequence one beside the other in front of both the players. These cards will not be seen by them in the beginning of the game. Another set of 5 cards with their face up are dealt to both the players and are placed on top of the closed cards. The closed cards will be seen one at a time after the card face up, placed on top has been played.

Selection of Trump in 7-8 (Seven Eight) Card Game:

A total of 5 options are available (4 suites and 1 pass option) to choose from.

Pass option:

The pass option allows the player to randomly open two out of the five set of cards. If both the cards belong to the same suite, it is declared as the trump suite; otherwise the suite of the card with a higher rank is chosen as the trump suite. If both cards have the same ranks and belong to two different suites, then the choice of selecting the trump suite is given to the user.

7-8 (Seven Eight) Card Game Play:

First lead is by the player who selects the trump, while subsequent ones are by the one who wins the trick. On each trick, the highest of the led suit wins unless it is trumped. The cards of the trump suite have the highest rank and are used to cut other cards when a suite played by the other player is not available. The game ends when all 15 tricks have been played.

Calculation of Score in 7-8 (Seven Eight) Card Game:

The score is calculated by subtracting the number of tricks required from the number of tricks won. The player with a higher score wins the game. If both the players obtain a zero score, the game is declared a draw.
