Play Svara Online: A Guide to the Card Game

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

Gameplay Rules:

Each player receives three cards dealt clockwise. The hand's point value determines the winner. Points are calculated as follows:

1. Number cards (7-9): Value equals the card's face value (7-9 points).
2. Face cards (10, J, Q, K): Each card is worth 10 points.
3. Aces: Each Ace is worth 11 points.
4. Same Suit Combination: Cards of the same suit are added together. 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 7♣ ("Ceco Jonchev," "Chechak," "Chotora," "Shpoka," or "Yoncho"): This card combines with any other cards for a total of 11 points.
7. Three Sevens: Three 7s form the strongest combination, worth 34 points.
8. Three of a Kind: Three identical cards (excluding the 7♣ combination) are worth three times the value of the card. For example: three 8s = 24 points (3 x 8); three Queens = 30 points (3 x 10).

Examples:

• 7♥, 9♦, 9♣ = 9 points (lowest possible hand)
• 10♠, 10♦, 10♣ = 30 points
• 8♣, K♥, 9♦ = 18 points
• K♥, 9♥, Q♣ = 29 points
