Play Svara Online: A Guide to the Card Game

Svara (Svarka) is a captivating card game played with a 32-card deck (7 to Ace). At least two players are needed. The game boasts a total of 4960 possible combinations!

Gameplay Rules:

Each player receives three cards dealt clockwise. The hand's point value determines the winner. Here's the scoring breakdown:

1. Number Cards (7-9): Points equal the card's face value (7, 8, or 9 points).
2. Face Cards (10, J, Q, K): Each card is worth 10 points.
3. Aces (A): Each Ace contributes 11 points.
4. Same Suit Combination: Cards of the same suit are summed for their total point value. For example: Q♦, K♦, 10♠ = 20 points; 10♠, 8♠, K♥ = 18 points.
5. Ace Combinations: Aces can be combined regardless of suit. Two Aces = 22 points; three Aces = 33 points.
6. The "Special" 7♣: The 7 of Clubs ("Ceco Jonchev," "Chechak," "Chotora," "Shpoka," or "Yoncho") combines with any other card for 11 points.
7. Three Sevens: Three 7s form the strongest combination, worth 34 points.
8. Three of a Kind: Three identical cards (excluding the three 7s combination) are worth three times the face value of the card. For example: three 8s = 24 points; three Queens = 30 points.
