Description:

If you enjoy playing challenging card games that require skill and strategy, then you need to try Hokm.

Hokm (meaning Trump) is a popular and challenging card game that has been played in the Middle East and particularly Iran/Persia for centuries.

The game is played in two teams of 2 players each, sitting across from each other. Players must not reveal their hands to each other or to their own team-mates. Talking and eye contact are not permitted either. Trump/Hokm is declared at the beginning of each round.

In order for all players to play a good, challenging game, they must keep track of what cards have been played by each player. This adds all different types of game strategies. For instance, if an opponent trumps 'Spades', then the player going first (trick-taker) should avoid playing this suit or he/she would be most likely give away the trick. By the same token, if a player's partner trumps 'Spades', then the player (trick-taker) going first should play this suit, if available, in order to give his partner a chance to trump this suit.

If you have never played Hokm before, we have added two options in order to make learning this game easier and interesting.

1) Flip: This option allows you to toggle cards face up/down or flip cards over. When all cards are face up, you can watch how other players are playing their hand. You can disable this button using game options if you are already familiar with the game.

2) History: This option will allow you watch all cards that have been played so far. As usual, you can disable this button using game options if you are already familiar with the game. Again, in a real game of Hokm this is not allowed unless there is a dispute among players.

This is the single player version of this game. You are always the first player who will partner with the third player sitting across from you. The game application makes all decisions on behalf of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th players. You may also use the above 2 options, if are in doubt about the software making the right decision.

Please, report any issues/glitches or send us additional game strategies that might be missing from the game.

Thanks and Enjoy!

Hokm
