Tarneeb 41
Hearts are trump, every player bids, race to 41
Tarneeb 41 — Syrian Tarneeb, or simply 41 — keeps hearts as trump in every deal and has every player call their own tricks, as long as the four calls add up to at least 11. Make your call and you score it, calls of 7 or more count double; miss it and you lose it. You play for your partner too: a team wins when one partner reaches 41 while the other has more than 0.

How to play
- 1
4 players, partners sitting opposite each other, 13 cards each, but everyone scores for themselves. A team wins when one partner reaches 41 while the other has more than 0; both partners share the pot (minus the 5% table fee).
- 2
Hearts are always trump. The player after the dealer leads the first trick; the winner of each trick leads the next.
- 3
Every player calls once how many tricks they will take (1–13), starting after the dealer. The calls must add up to at least 11 — if not, the cards are dealt again by the next dealer.
- 4
Follow the suit that was led if you can; if you can’t, play any card — a trump or a discard. You never have to beat the trick, and trumps may be led at any time.
