Four Cards is one of the oldest and most popular Persian card games, sharing roots with games like Scopa in Italy and Basra in Arab countries. It's played with a standard 52-card deck, has simple rules, but still requires focus, memory, and constant score tracking to win — a mix of simplicity and strategic depth that has made Four Cards just as popular online on Tasbazi.

📖 Complete Rules of Four Cards on Tasbazi

Four Cards is played with a standard 52-card deck, usually by two players (3 and 4-player variants also exist). The goal is to capture more cards from the table than your opponent and score points by capturing cards and pulling off a "sweep" (sur).

How the cards are dealt

• First deal: At the start of the game, the host gets 4 cards and the guest gets 4 cards, and 4 more cards are placed face-up on the table. The rest of the deck is set aside as a closed stack.
• Table cards are only dealt once: Cards are only placed face-up on the table during that very first deal — never again after that.
• Re-dealing: Whenever both players run out of cards in hand, each is dealt 4 new cards from the stack (without dealing any new cards to the table), and this continues until the stack is fully used up.
• Capturing with a sum of 11: If the value of a card played from a player's hand, added to one or more cards on the table, equals 11, the player can capture those cards.
• Capturing with a Jack: If a player has a Jack, they can capture every card on the table except a King or a Queen.
• Capturing a King or Queen: A King can only capture a King on the table, and a Queen can only capture a Queen on the table.
• When both number cards and a Jack are on the table: A player with a Jack can either capture all the number cards on the table at once, or capture only the Jack on the table — but not both Jacks together, and a Jack can never capture a King or Queen.
• End of the game: Once both players' hands and the stack are completely empty, any cards still left on the table go to the last player who made a successful capture.

Sweeps: sur and "Jack sur"

If only one or more cards remain on the table and, on their turn, a player is able to capture all of them at once with a single card from their hand, that's called a "sur" (sweep), worth 5 points. However, if that full-table capture is made using a Jack, it does not count as a regular sur.

There's a special case too: if only one card is left on the table and that card happens to be a Jack, and the player whose turn it is also holds a Jack, capturing it counts as a "Jack sur" and is worth 10 points — double a regular sweep.

One important note about Tasbazi's settings: the "sur on the last capture" rule is configurable on our site. Depending on the table type or house agreement, this rule can be turned on (a sweep on the very last capture of the round still counts) or turned off (it doesn't count). Be sure to check this setting before you start a match.

Card scoring table on Tasbazi

• Each Jack: 1 point (up to 4 points total for all 4 Jacks)
• 10 of Diamonds: this single card alone is worth 3 points
• Each Ace: 1 point (up to 4 points total for all 4 Aces)
• Clubs cards: if a player collects 7 or more Clubs, each one counts as 1 point, capped at 7 points total for this category (collecting more than 7 clubs doesn't earn extra points)
• 2 of Clubs: this card carries a separate bonus worth 2 points
• Sur (sweep): 5 points
• Jack sur: 10 points

Winning condition

At the end of each hand, both players' captured cards are counted and scored using the table above. Whichever player reaches 62 points or more at the end of a hand is declared the winner. This score threshold is Tasbazi's fixed standard for Four Cards and is made clear to both players before the match begins.

🏆 Winning Strategies for Four Cards

1. Spend your Jacks wisely

The Jack is your strongest card, but the first opportunity isn't always the best time to play it. Save it for the moment when the most cards have piled up on the table, so you both score more and protect your chance at a sweep.

2. Keep count of played cards

Pay special attention to Kings and Queens that have already left play. This helps you figure out which combinations are still in your opponent's hand or the remaining stack.

3. Plan ahead for sweeps

Before playing a card that could clear the whole table, check the table settings — on Tasbazi, the "sur on the last capture" rule can be turned on or off, and depending on that setting, a sweep on the final capture of the hand may or may not be counted.

4. Watch for combinations that add up to 11

Before every move, compare the cards on the table against the cards in your hand. Sometimes a little patience lets you capture several cards at once instead of just one.

A regular sweep — capturing every card on the table with a single card — is worth 5 points. But if the last remaining card on the table is a Jack and you capture it with your own Jack, that's a "Jack sur," worth 10 points, double a regular sweep.
