Rather badly, one suspects :) (though objection on the singing part there!)

Seriously, I didn’t think this could possibly be real either. Also…Rihanna? She can’t even sing, how is she supposed to act?

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)

This has puzzled me for long: even setting the language order with British first, I got US spelling. Until this post I hadn’t bothered to investigate further, but on Lion, and I think (Snow) Leopard too, you need to change the order of the language in two locations in the “Language & Text” preferences:
1) At the “Language” tab. This one is straightforward
2) At the text tab. This one is almost hidden: Click on the selector box called “Spelling” (mine reads “Automatic by Language”), in the list of choices that pops up, at the bottom you’ll find “Set Up…” choose that and set the order of the languages there.
Note: You can also choose to always use e.g. “British English” of course, but that is not as useful al “Automatic by Language” in my opinion.

Cheers,
Hayo

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.
