Play Svara Online: A Guide to the Card Game

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

Game 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) are worth their face value (7-9 points).
2. 10, Jack, Queen, and King are each worth 10 points.
3. Aces are worth 11 points.
4. Cards of the same suit are summed for their total value. For example: Q♦, K♦, 10♠ = 20 points; 10♠, 8♠, K♥ = 18 points.
5. Aces can be combined regardless of suit; two Aces equal 22 points, three Aces equal 33 points.
6. The 7♣ ("Ceco Jonchev," "Chechak," "Chotora," "Shpoka," or "Yoncho") combines with any other card for a total of 11 points.
7. Three 7s constitute the strongest hand, worth 34 points.
8. Three of a kind hands are worth three times the value of the card. For example, three 8s equal 24 points (3 x 8 = 24), and three Queens equal 30 points (3 x 10 = 30).

Examples:

• 7♥, 9♦, 9♣ = 9 points (lowest possible hand)
• 10♠, 10♦, 10♣ = 30 points
• 8♣, K♥, 9♦ = 18 points
• K♥, 9♥, Q♣ = 29 points
• Q♣, Q♥, 9♦ = 20 points
• A♠, A♦, 10♣ = 33 points
• 8♠, A♦, 7♣ = 22 points
• 10♦, 9♦, J♦ = 29 points
• Q♣, Q♥, Q♦ = 30 points
• 7♣, K♥, K♦ = 21 points
• 7♣, A♥, A♦ = 33 points
• Two 7s (any suit) = 14 points

Betting Rules:

1. Before dealing, each player places an ante.

5. To see other players' hands, the player who placed the blind bet must match the current bet.
6. If no one matches a blind bet, the last player to place a blind bet wins.
7. Without a blind bet, and no other bets placed, the dealer wins.
8. If two or more players tie, a Svara (tiebreaker round) occurs, incorporating all previous bets.
