Egyptian Basra Arabic 2.12

Egyptian Basra, also known as "Al Kommy," "Ashara Koutshinah," and "Ash Al Walad," is a mobile game that is suitable for all ages and works well on both older and newer devices. One of its standout features is its multiplayer capability, allowing players to connect with friends and compete in rooms together. Public and private rooms can be created, offering the option to play with others or exclusively with friends.

The gameplay of Egyptian Basra is straightforward:

1. At the start of the game, one of the two players will deal four cards to each player and place four cards on the table.
2. Players take turns placing one card on the table until they run out of cards. The dealer then deals four cards to each player, excluding the table.
3. The objective for each player is to collect as many cards from the table as possible. Once the dealer runs out of cards, the piles acquired by each player throughout the game are counted. The player with the most cards in their possession receives 30 points, while the other player receives zero points.
4. To collect cards from the table, a player must have a similar card or a group of cards that add up to one of the cards in their hand, excluding J, Q, and K. For example, if there are four cards on the table: A (valued at 1), 7, K, and 8, and you have an 8 card in your hand, you can take the 8 card along with the 1+7 cards. If you have a K card in your hand, you can only take the K card from the table.
5. If a player has a J or a Diamond 7 in their hand, they can collect all the cards from the table.
6. When the table is empty and the next player throws a card from their hand (excluding J or Diamond 7), if the other player has a similar card, they can collect it from the table as a bonus, referred to as "Basra" by Egyptians.
7. Another situation where "Basra" can be collected is when all the cards on the table add up to a single card in a player's hand, along with any similar cards that have the same sum value. For example, if the table cards are (10, 5, 4, 1) and the player has a 10 card in their hand, they can collect all the cards on the table.
8. If a player has a Diamond 7 card in the previous situation, they can also collect the cards on the table as "Basra". The Diamond 7 card has two special roles, known as "Al Komi" by Egyptians. It can be used to collect any value of "Basra," or like a J card, it can collect all the cards from the table.
9. It is important to avoid holding onto J or Diamond 7 as the last card in your hand, as the other player may collect all the cards on the table and discard your J or Diamond 7.
10. Once the dealer runs out of cards, it's time to count the cards. The player with the most cards receives 30 points. The number of "Basra" collected by both players is also counted, with each player receiving a bonus of 10 points for regular "Basra" and 30 points for Jack "Basra" or Koomi "Basra" (when Koomi was discarded and any card collected "Basra").
11. Multiple rounds are played, with players taking turns as the dealer and the other player starting first. The game continues until the target score is reached, and a winner is declared.
