Bura — how to play

Simple rules — the game also teaches you as you play.

1. One on one, 36 cards. Each player holds 3; trumps are the face-up card under the deck.
2. Lead 1–3 cards of one suit. Your opponent plays the same number: beats each one (higher of the suit or a trump) and takes the trick, or discards — then the trick is yours.
3. After each trick both draw back to three, the taker first. The taker leads next.
4. Points: ace 11, ten 10, king 4, queen 3, jack 2. Over 60 wins the deal: 1 point; 2 if the opponent has under 31; 3 if they took no tricks.
5. First to 7 wins.
