How We Play Seven
Our version follows the traditional Sedma rules while being optimized for online play and competitive leaderboards.
🃏 Dealing & Drawing Cards
The dealer gives 4 cards to each player.
The remaining cards form the draw pile.
After every trick, players draw new cards in winner-first order until both hands are restored to four cards.
Once the draw pile is empty, players continue with their remaining cards until the round ends.
🎯 Leading a Trick
The player who won the previous trick leads the next one.
Any card may be played as the opening card of a trick.
Its suit becomes the trick suit.
♠ Playing a Card
Players are not required to follow suit.
You may play any card from your hand, making timing, memory, and bluffing important parts of the game.
🏅 Winning a Trick
Sevens are always trump cards.
Whenever a Seven is played, it can capture the trick regardless of suit.
The player who plays the last trump card wins the trick and leads the next one.
📈 Scoring
Only Aces and Tens are worth points.
Each captured Ace or Ten is worth 1 point.
If both players finish with the same number of points, the winner of the final trick receives the deciding point.
Additional round bonuses are awarded for exceptional play:
- 16er – Capture all scoring cards and points.

A match consists of multiple rounds.
