About Bura ⭒ Jokerstars

General Rules:

The player that starts the turn is selected at random.

The combination of one colored cards in a hand is called “Maliutka”, and is played without order.

The combination of all trumps in a hand is called “Bura”, is played without order as well and wins the turn.

Each player on their turn can increase the points by saying:

Davi – 2 points

Se – 3 points

Chari – 4 points

The win can be declared by the end of each turn by the player who has the next move.

Each turn is played until any player declares that they reached 31 points (in case of 3 cards Bura) or 61 (in case of 5 cards Bura).

If a player declared a win wrongly (didn’t reach 31 points or 61) than the opponent wins the turn. In case of 5 cards Bura if players collect 60 points than the turn is declared a draw.
