Tarneeb is a card game played by two teams, each consisting of two players sitting opposite each other at a table. The game uses a standard 52-card deck, and play proceeds counter-clockwise. Each player bids on the number of tricks (Allmat) their team expects to win in a round.
The player who wins the bid declares Tarneeb (a trump suit) and throws down a type of paper. Other players must then throw down papers of the same type. The first player to successfully match the type of paper wins the trick (Bamh). Tarneeb papers outrank all other papers; the player who throws the highest-ranking Tarneeb paper wins unless a stronger Tarneeb paper is played.
The round ends when all players have played their cards. Points are awarded as follows:
- Successful Bid: If a team achieves or exceeds their bid, they add the number of tricks won to their score. The opposing team receives no points.
- Unsuccessful Bid: If a team fails to achieve their bid, the number of tricks they won is subtracted from their score, and the number of tricks the opposing team won is added to their score.
If either team wins 13 tricks without bidding 13, 16 points are added to their total. If a team bids for and wins 13 tricks, 26 points are added. If a team bids for 13 tricks and fails to win them, 16 points are deducted.
The game concludes when one team reaches a total score of 41 or more points; that team is declared the winner.
