The game consists of a deck of 27 cards, in which there are only 3 suits.
Each suit is represented by cards from six to ace.
Before the start of the game, each player bets a predetermined amount of money.

The dealer reveals the last card dealt (his own) and the suit of this card becomes a trump card.
Players who, after the announcement of a trump card, do not want to play, announce this and discard their cards.
Those players who agreed to play throw off one of their any card and start trading.
Trading consists in raising the bets by the players.
The trade is opened by the player to the left of the dealer, he either raises or folds.

The first move in the first draw belongs to the player who is to the right of the player who won the betting.
The player can put his any card, each next player in a clockwise direction must put a card of the same suit, if there is no card of this suit, then he must put a trump card, if there is no trump card, then he can put any card.
The trick is won by the player whose card is the highest in relation to the first laid out in the trick.
The first player to take two tricks wins the hand.
If none of the players takes more than one trick, which means a draw or "Azi", then a second draw is made. Players who took one trick in the previous draw play a round.
