Hokm (Persian Trick-Taking)

Deal five cards to each player, then have one designated player look at their hand and declare a trump suit ('hokm').

Deal out the remaining cards to complete each player's hand of thirteen cards.

Players take turns playing one card each in a trick, following the suit led if possible.

The highest card of the suit led wins the trick, unless a trump card is played, in which case the highest trump wins.

The winner of each trick leads the next one; a team wins the round by capturing seven of the thirteen tricks.
