Hokum - Turuff

Hokum is the classic 4-player, 2-team trick-taking card game played across Iran, Iraq, the Gulf, and South Asia — known locally as Hokm, Hukm, Court Piece, or Turuff. If you grew up playing it with family over tea, this is that game, built for your phone. Partners sit across from each other. Each hand, the hakem — the player who won the previous hand, or the dealer's partner on the first — looks at their cards and calls the trump suit. From there it's a straight trick-taking battle: follow suit if you can, trump if you can't, and try to out-muscle the other team. First team to win 7 hands takes the match — and if you sweep a hand 7-0, that's a **kot**, a clean sweep worth celebrating.
