Seep

About Seep

Seep (also known as Sweep) is a classic Indian Card game played between 2 or 4 players. Seep is more over popular in Indian, Pakistan and few other Asian countries.

In 4 player mode Seep played in fixed partnerships of two with partners sitting opposite one another.

The aim of the Seep game is to capture cards worth points from a layout on the table (also known as the floor). The game ends when one team has accumulated a lead of at least 100 points over the other team (this is called a baazi). Players can decide in advance how many games (baazis) they want to play.

At the end of the seep round the scoring value of the captured cards is counted:

- All cards of the Spade suit have point values corresponding to their capture value (from the king, worth 13, down to the ace, worth 1)
- The aces of the other three suits are also worth 1 point each
- The ten of diamonds is worth 6 points

Only these 17 cards have a scoring value - all other captured cards are worthless. The total scoring value of all the cards in the pack is 100 points.

Players can also score for a seep, which occurs when a player captures all the cards from the layout, leaving the table empty. Normally a seep is worth 50 points, but a seep made on the very first play is worth only 25 points, and a seep made on the last play is worth no points at all.

Seep is very similar to the Italian game Scopone or Scopa.
