Play Svara Online: A Comprehensive Guide to the Card Game

Svara (Svarka) is a captivating card game played with a standard 32-card deck (7 to Ace). A minimum of two players are required. The game boasts a remarkable 4960 possible combinations.

Gameplay Rules:

Each player receives three cards dealt clockwise. The hand's value determines the winner, with the highest point total securing victory. Point values are calculated as follows:

1. Number cards (7-9): Points equal the card's face value (7, 8, or 9 points respectively).
2. Face cards (10, J, Q, K): Each card is worth 10 points.
3. Aces (A): Each Ace is worth 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 equal 22 points, three Aces equal 33 points.
6. The 7♣ ("Ceco Jonchev," "Chechak," "Chotora," "Shpoka," or "Yoncho"): This card combines with any other card for a total of 11 points.
7. Three Sevens: Three 7s constitute 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).

Example Hands:

• 7♥, 9♦, 9♣ = 9 points (lowest possible hand)
• 10♠, 10♦, 10♣ = 30 points
• 8♣, K♥, 9♦ = 18 points
• K♥, 9♥, Q♣ = 19 points
• Q♣, Q♥, 9♦ = 20 points
• A♠, A♦, 10♣ = 32 points
• 8♠, A♦, 7♣ = 26 points
• 10♦, 9♦, J♦ = 29 points
• Q♣, Q♥, Q♦ = 30 points
• 7♣, K♥, K♦ = 31 points
• 7♣, A♥, A♦ = 33 points
• Two 7s (any suit) = 14 points

1. Ante: Before dealing, each player places an ante (initial bet).
2. Blind Bet: The player to the dealer's left makes an optional blind bet (before seeing their cards).
3. Blind Bet Doubling: The next player can optionally double the blind bet. If a player skips, the next player cannot make a blind bet.
4. Post-Deal Betting: After receiving cards, players place bets. If a blind bet exists, subsequent bets must at least double it.
5. Revealing Hands: A player who made a blind bet can see other players' hands by paying the current bet.
6. Unpaid Blind Bet: If a blind bet is made and no one matches it, the last player to make a blind bet wins.
7. No Blind Bet: If no blind bet is made and no other bets are placed, the dealer wins.
