Svara (Svarka): A Thrilling 32-Card Game

Svara, also known as Svarka, is a captivating card game played with a standard 32-card deck (7 to Ace). Requiring at least two players, this game offers 4960 possible hand combinations, ensuring diverse and exciting gameplay.

Game Rules:

Each player receives three cards dealt clockwise. Hand values are determined by the following point system:

1. Number cards (7-9) are worth their face value (7-9 points).
2. 10, J, Q, K are each worth 10 points.
3. Aces are worth 11 points.
4. Cards of the same suit are summed for their total point value. For example: Q♦, K♦, 10♠ = 20 points; 10♠, 8♠, K♥ = 18 points.
5. Aces can be combined regardless of suit (two Aces = 22 points, three Aces = 33 points).
6. The 7♣ ("Ceco Jonchev," "Chechak," "Chotora," "Shpoka," or "Yoncho") combines with any other card for 11 points.
7. Three 7s score 34 points – the highest possible hand.
8. Three-of-a-kind hands score the value of the leading card tripled (e.g., three 8s = 24 points, three Queens = 30 points).

Example Hands:

• 7♥, 9♦, 9♣ = 9 points (lowest possible hand)
• 10♠, 10♦, 10♣ = 30 points
• 8♣, K♥, 9♦ = 18 points
• K♥, 9♥, Q♣ = 29 points
• Q♣, Q♥, 9♦ = 20 points
• A♠, A♦, 10♣ = 33 points
• 8♠, A♦, 7♣ = 22 points
• 10♦, 9♦, J♦ = 29 points
• Q♣, Q♥, Q♦ = 30 points
• 7♣, K♥, K♦ = 31 points
• 7♣, A♥, A♦ = 33 points
• Two 7s (any suit) = 14 points

Betting Rules:

1. An ante is placed by each player before cards are dealt.
2. The player to the dealer's left makes an optional "blind bet."
3. The next player can optionally double the blind bet.
4. Skipping a blind bet prevents subsequent players from making one.
5. Players bet after receiving their hands.
6. A blind bet must be at least doubled by the subsequent player.
7. To see other players' hands, the blind bettor must match the total bet.
8. If no one matches a blind bet, the last blind bettor wins.
9. The highest-scoring hand wins.
10. If the dealer is the only player who does not bet, the dealer wins.
11. A tie (Svara) results in a new game using the accumulated bets.
