good effort but I should point that “seep” is the most popular game in rural Punjab (Indian Punjab) – played by young and old alike – and diamond 10 is worth six points (and the link that you posted for Pakistani rules is actually the rule followed in Punjab – Indian part of Punjab and Pakistani part of Punjab)

Nice Effort Karan….

The above discussion is nothing but the variation of rules i experienced throughout Delhi-Haryana-Punjab region.
Different groups play with different rules of cementing and picking.

I heard about 2 very exciting variations of this game:

1) Reverse Sweep( Ulti Seep): In which you collect minimum points. And play such that the other team picks up most of the points. Though I haven’t played it.

2) Open Seep: some of your cards( i think 4) are visible on the table to all the players.

If anyone knows the above variations, please share.

I’d like to add few points:
1) One can’t break his own house

2)The loose card on the floor cant be used alone to make a house and pick the combined house from them.One must use his card for do that. suppose there are uncemented J house and 2,7,6 on the floor, then one cant pick J+2=K, this is illegal. One can use his/her ace to make a house of K in this case i.e. J+2+1=K. Point is one’s card must be invloved in making a house.

3) Sweep at the starting of the game have value of 10 points. Most people play with 10 point.
Swwep at the end have Zero point.

4) The minimum point to be required is 20 points. If team gets less than 20 ,it will be automatically lost whatever their points or sweeps. This is called Sukhee in HINDI.

If one have any doubt ,they are welcome.

heyy… I play this game usually in ’2 player game’ version. i wanted to know if for eg: the opponent asks for 10 but there is no card via which a house of 10 can be formed. so opponent drops a card. now the opponent throws a card. my first query. should that card be 10 only?
q2: if no, then if the opponent throws a card which makes the sum of all cards or combinations of cards as one number lets say 9, can the dealer sweep away all the cards leads by a sweep??? or that is not allowed??

q3: if that is allowed: then how many sweeps can be dealt????

do reply back ASAP…….

thanks robin
:)

have a happy gaming :)

Hi Shams – no, 3 people can’t without significant modification to the rules.

Ahsan/BKM – as mentioned in the scoring section, the counting of points is based on the face value of the Spade cards, along with the special extras mentioned above. So a 2 of spades is worth 2 points, a 4 is worth 4, etc. What problems are you having exactly?

Nishant – no, they must first establish a second house of King (13) by using the card to collect the 11 + 2 into the original house. You cannot create a house and sweep in one action.
