Pishti for PC

Pishti is a card game which is played with a pile of 52 cards by 2 or 4 players in partnerships, partners sitting opposite. The direction of play is anticlockwise. The dealer deals the top four cards face down to the centre of the table, and then a packet of four cards to each player, beginning to dealer's right and ending with the dealer. The card on the top of the four closed cards on the table is turned face up to start the game. The player to dealer's right begins, and the turn to play passes anticlockwise. A turn consists of playing one card from your hand face up on top of the discard pile. If rank of the played card matches the rank of the previous card on the pile, the player captures the whole pile. The next player will then start a new stack by playing a card face up to the empty table. Playing a jack also captures the whole pile, no matter what card is on top of it. Points are scored for certain captured cards. The word "pishti", which means "cooked", describes a capture of a pile containing only one card, for which 10 points are scored. If the pile consists of just a single jack and you capture it with another jack, this counts as a double pishti, worth 20 points. A pishti can happen at any stage of the game, except that you cannot score a pishti for the very last card played (just before the hand is scored). The player or team who has the majority of the cards at the end of game is also scored extra 3 points. if both teams take exactly the same number of cards, the 3 points for the majority of cards is not awarded. Card points is : J(1), A(1), 2-Club(2), 10-Diamond(3).
