Four players, one bold bid, and a trump named out loud. No download, no sign-up.
Play Tarneeb Online Free
Play Tarneeb online free here: open the table and you are dealt 13 cards, with your partner across from you and bots in any empty seat. The first bid is at least 7 tricks for your side, the auction winner names the trump, and the first team to 41 points wins. This is standard partnership Tarneeb, the coffee-house game of the Levant, with the trump suit named for everyone to hear.
Start playing in one tap
There is no download, no account and no age gate between you and a hand of Tarneeb. Open the table and the cards are dealt. Three bots take the other seats at the difficulty you choose, so you never wait for a fourth. Sign in later only if you want your stats and streak to follow you.
Or bring your own table
Create a private room and share the link on WhatsApp. Your friends tap it and land straight in your room, with no sign-up of their own. Any seat nobody fills can be taken by a bot, which is usually the hardest part of arranging a four-player game.
The rules, in one minute
- The deal. A standard 52-card deck, thirteen cards each, aces high. Play moves counter-clockwise, to the right, as Tarneeb normally does.
- The bid. Each player in turn bids the number of tricks their team will take, from seven to thirteen, or passes. Each bid must beat the standing one. Three passes end the auction; if all four pass, the hand is thrown in and redealt.
- The tarneeb. The winning bidder names the trump suit aloud (nothing is hidden here) and leads the first trick.
- The play. Follow the led suit if you can. Void? Play anything: trumping is optional and discarding is allowed. Highest trump takes the trick, or the highest card of the led suit if no trump falls.
Scoring: the race to 41
| Result | Bidding team | Defenders |
|---|---|---|
| Bid made (tricks ≥ bid) | + tricks actually won | 0 |
| Bid failed | − bid | + their tricks |
| Kaboot: all 13 taken (bid under 13) | +16 | 0 |
| Bid 13, made | +26 | 0 |
| Bid 13, failed | −16 | double their tricks |
Bid 8 and take 9, and your side scores 9 while the other side scores nothing. Take only 7 and you lose 8, and they score their 6. First team to 41 wins. Every game on the web plays to 41, and the app also offers a shorter game to 31. Scores can go negative, with no floor.
Which Tarneeb is this?
Standard partnership Tarneeb: trick bidding, seven to thirteen, played to 41. It is not the Syrian game also called “41”, where each player bids alone and hearts are always trump. This table also has no no-trump bids; those belong to the Egyptian variant. We would rather you knew before you sat down than after.
