About Call break - play card games

Call break also called Callbreak, Lakdi, Lakadi and Ghochi etc is a very popular offline card game in India, Nepal, and other South Asian countries. Call break is a strategic trick-based card game and gameplay is very close to Spades. 4 players are required to play the game and a match ends in 5 rounds.

The setup of call break card game

It is mostly a trick-taking or, in other words, hand-winning card game. In the Call Break Game, the objective is to secure as many hands as possible or at least the number that the player bids before the game begins.

The four players are required to start the game without any partnerships. In the call-break game, Spade is a predefined trump. The card's value is based on their face value, ranking in a high to low order; Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.

After all four players are seated, the dealer bears the responsibility of distributing 13 cards to each player. Before the game begins, each player should select the hand values based on their possible winning hands.

Rules of playing call break

Once the 13 cards are distributed to the players, the first player to make a move is chosen randomly. The objective is to make minimum hands similar to the call. The calls are numbers that represent the number of hands that a particular player bids to win. A player can call between 1-13, with the lowest call as 1 and the highest remaining 13. Every player needs to make at least one call.

The main objective is to make hands equivalent to the call or more than the call. In case a player doesn't get even one trump or spade, then the cards will be distributed to all the players again.

Call Break Gameplay

The player to the dealer's right is expected to lead the first hand. After that, the winner of each hand will lead the subsequent hands. Players have to play a card of the same suit that is being played during the current hand. In case they don't have a card belonging to the suit that is played, they can use a trump card. However, this doesn't necessarily mean you will win the hand.

For example, the player sitting next to the dealer plays an Ace of Hearts. After that, every player will have to play a card from the same suit unless they don't have any. In such cases, the player without a card from the same suit can choose to play a trump card. If a player throws an Ace and no player has played a trump card, the player with the Ace card will win the hand.

You must play a higher-value card than the cards that have already been played during the hand if you have one. If you don't have a card with a higher value, you can play any card.
