Partner King
Partners across, team totals, the higher team wins
Eşli King is the partnership way to play King, Turkey’s favourite compendium card game: the same penalty hands and trump hands, the same declarer who picks the game, but the players sitting across are a team. Your partner’s points are yours — feed them tricks in the trump games, keep the penalty cards away — and the higher team total wins.

How to play
- 1
Eşli King: partners across add their scores; the higher team wins
- 2
Four players, 13 cards each. Every hand one player, the declarer, looks at their cards and picks the game: a trump game where you want tricks, or one of six penalty games where you avoid them.
- 3
Quick game, 12 hands: everyone declares 3 times, 1 trump game and 2 penalty games. Each penalty game can be played at most twice.
- 4
Always follow the suit led when you can.
- 5
Penalty games: out of the suit led, you must throw a penalty card if you hold one. If a higher card of the suit is already down, you must drop your penalty card of that suit.
- 6
Trump games: out of the suit led, you must play a trump. When trump is led, beat the highest trump if you can. Nobody may lead trump before one has been played, unless they hold only trumps.
