In the game
How Baloot is played
Baloot is the Gulf's favourite trick-taking card game. Four players sit in two teams and play with 32 cards, from the seven up to the ace.
Each hand starts with a choice of game: Sun, with no trump suit, or Hokum, where one suit becomes trump. Teams then win tricks to collect card points, and score extra for projects such as Sira, Fifty, Hundred, Four Hundred and Baloot.
A team that wins all eight tricks of a hand scores a Kaboot. The first team to reach 152 points wins the match.
Baloot Dram follows the Saudi rules, and it keeps the score sheet for you. If you are new, play offline on the easy level and learn as you go.
