Charbarg (Pasour 11) 1.7.0

Charbarg (Pasour 11) is a traditional card game that emphasizes strategy and skill. Each player begins with a hand of four cards, while an additional set of four cards is placed face up on the table. The gameplay revolves around players taking turns to play cards, aiming to form combinations that total eleven.

Key rules of play include:

• Players can collect any combination of cards that sums to eleven (for example, 7+4 or 8+2+1).
• Jacks have the unique ability to collect all cards except for Queens and Kings.
• Kings and Queens may be collected alongside another card of the same rank.
• At the conclusion of each round, four new cards are dealt, allowing the game to continue until all cards have been played.

In the variant designed for four players, those seated opposite each other form teams to accumulate points collaboratively.

Scoring is governed by specific rules, including:

• Each "Sour," which refers to clearing the table of cards, earns a team five points, with an exception for when a Jack is utilized.
• A "Sour Jack," defined as collecting the last Jack, yields ten points.

Points are calculated at the end of the game based on the cards collected throughout play:

• Seven clubs score 7 points for the player or team.
• Each Sour: 5 points
• Sour Jack: 10 points
• Ten of diamonds: 3 points
• Two of clubs: 2 points
• Each Jack: 1 point
• Each Ace: 1 point

The total scoring potential for each round amounts to 20 points, not including Sours. The game concludes once a player or team reaches a total of 64 points.

Charbarg offers an engaging mix of enjoyment and tradition, making it a compelling choice for card game enthusiasts.
