How to play Court Piece
A simple beginner guide to Court Piece, also called Rung, Rang or Hokm.
Quick table primer
Understand the table before the first lead.
Court Piece is a four-player partnership trick-taking game. Two teams sit opposite each other, cards are played into tricks, and the trump suit can decide the pressure moments of the round.
Sawariyan focuses on the house-rule style many players already know: private tables, hidden-rung presets and quick invite links for friends.
Deal the cards
Each player receives 13 cards. In Hidden Rung presets, the first bidding or trump decision happens before every card is visible.
Choose or reveal trump
The trump suit, often called rung, can stay hidden until a player cannot follow the led suit.
Play tricks
One player leads a card. Everyone follows the led suit when possible. The highest valid card wins unless trump changes the trick.
Claim piles
Sawariyan presets such as 5-3-3 track consecutive trick wins so teams can claim piles according to the selected house rules.
Win the match
Rounds add to the match score until one team reaches the target chosen in the lobby.
