Sedma
The Czech game where suits don’t matter and sevens are wild. Match the lead to take the trick over, fight on, and grab the aces and tens. 2–4 players, in partnerships.
How to play Sedma
- 1A Czech and Slovak favourite played with 32 cards, 7 up to ace. Suits don't matter at all. Two or three play alone; four play as partners sitting across from each other. With three players, two eights are set aside.
- 2Everyone gets four cards and the rest make the stock. The player left of the dealer leads any card, and everyone else plays any card in turn.
- 3A card of the same rank as the lead takes the trick over, and so does any seven: sevens are wild. Whoever last took it over wins the trick, and if nobody did, the leader wins it.
- 4Once everyone has played, if the other side holds the trick, the leader may play on with another card of the lead rank or a seven, and then everyone plays one more card. The leader can keep doing this, or let the trick go.
- 5The trick's winner takes every card in it, then everyone draws back up to four cards from the stock, the winner first, and the winner leads next.
- 6Only aces and tens count: 10 points each, plus 10 for the last trick, 90 in all. The side with the most points wins the hand and 1 game point, 2 if the others took no points, 3 if they took no tricks at all.
- 7First to 7 game points wins. If 25 hands go by first, the most game points wins.
