Game Rules — Kiran's Callbreak – Card Game

📌 Overview

Kiran's Callbreak is a strategic trick-taking card game played with a standard 52-card deck.
The goal is to win at least the number of tricks you bid at the start of each round.

♦️ Card Ranking

In Callbreak, cards are ranked from Ace (highest) to 2 (lowest) in all suits. The Spade suit is the permanent trump, meaning any Spade card can beat cards of other suits, regardless of their rank. Within the Spade suit itself, the same high-to-low ranking applies: Ace is the strongest, and 2 is the weakest.

🃁 Dealing The Cards

• Each player receives 13 cards

• Game is played in 5 rounds (User can manage rounds from setting)

🎯 Bidding Rules

• Before round starts, each player places a bid

• Bid = number of tricks a player aims to win

• Minimum bid: 1

• No maximum bid, based on cards in hand

🏆 Playing Rules

• Dealer starts the first trick

• Players must follow suit if they can

• If unable to follow suit, they may:

  • Play Spades (trump)

  • Or discard another suit if no Spades available

• Highest Spade wins, otherwise highest card of lead suit wins the trick

📊 Scoring Rules

Players earn or lose points based on whether they successfully meet their bid.

✅ If a player meets or exceeds their bid

• Earns +1 point for each bid trick

• Over-tricks (extra tricks beyond the bid) give +0.1 points each

❌ If a player fails to meet their bid

• Loses points equal to their bid
  (Example: Bid 4 but get only 3 → −4 points)
  
  

📌 Example Calculation

• Bid: 4

• Tricks Won: 6

• Score = +4 (for meeting bid) + 2 × 0.1 (over-tricks)

• Total Score = +4.2

⏳ End of Game
