In the Arab countries, particularly in the Levant region, a popular card game known as Tarneeb blackjack, or simply "rule" in the Arab Gulf states, is widely enjoyed. The essence of the game is to win consecutive rounds of Tarneeb. It involves four players, forming two teams of two, where each pair works together to outscore the opposing team throughout the game until a winner is declared.
The gameplay of Tarneeb blackjack uses a standard 52-card deck, excluding Jokers. The game begins with the dealer distributing the cards, starting from the player to their right. The bidding process then commences with the player to the dealer's left, where players bid on the number of tricks they believe they can win, starting from a minimum of 7 and going up to a maximum of 13, known as "Cabot" or "livers." The bidding continues in a clockwise direction, and the highest bidder gets to choose the Tarneeb suit.
During the game, if a team fails to meet their bid, they face penalties. For instance, if a team bids to win 10 tricks but only secures 9, they lose points equivalent to the number of tricks they bid, and the opposing team gains points for the tricks they won. In the example given, if the bidding team loses 10 points and the opposing team wins 4 tricks, the opposing team gains 5 points. Any discrepancies or cheating are addressed openly to maintain fair play.
The game concludes when one of the teams reaches either 61 or 31 points, depending on the pre-agreed target set before the start of the game.
The card hierarchy in Tarneeb blackjack is as follows, from highest to lowest: Ace (Cut), King (Sheikh), Queen (girl), Jack (born), followed by the numerical cards from 10 down to 2.
