Games

Sama

Start

Two hidden cards and one exposed card, which scores double. You get one chance to exchange before comparing totals.

Rules

3 players · You against two AIs · One deal

  1. Objective

    • The three players compete separately. The highest final total wins; tied leaders share the win.

  2. Setup

    • Use all 96 Mughal Ganjifa cards. Choose a random dealer and deal anticlockwise, starting on their right: two hidden cards and one face-up card each. The remainder forms a face-down stock.

  3. Playing a turn

    • Starting on the dealer’s right, each player acts once: keep all cards, exchange the face-up card, or exchange both hidden cards. Confirm the choice. Replacements come from the stock. A single hidden card cannot be exchanged. Hidden cards and hidden discards remain concealed until settlement.

  4. Scoring and ending

    • Numerals score 1–10, Wazir 11 and Mir 12. Add the two hidden cards and twice the face-up card. After all three actions, reveal hands and compare totals. Restart deals again.
