Play Hokm and Pasoor, two classic Persian card games, on your iPhone or iPad: against smart computer players, or with family and friends in the same room. In English or Persian. No ads, and no internet needed. PLAY NEARBY Everyone at the table plays on their own iPhone or iPad, connected directly, with no internet and no accounts. Hokm takes up to four players and Pasoor two; the computer fills any empty seat. If someone's phone drops out, their seat is kept so they can rejoin. HOKM (also spelled Hokum) The beloved partnership trick-taking game. Four players, two teams, one trump suit. As Hakem you choose trumps from your first five cards, then team up with your partner to take seven tricks. Win seven to none for a Kot, and watch out for the Hakem-Kot. PASOOR (also called Pasur or Chahar Barg) The traditional fishing game. Capture cards that add up to eleven, sweep the table for a Sur, and race to the target score. Jacks sweep, Queens and Kings take their own rank, and the 10 of Diamonds and 2 of Clubs are worth fighting for. IN ENGLISH AND PERSIAN Switch the whole app between English and فارسی at any time, rules included. WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT - Computer players that read the table: they track who is out of a suit and protect their partner - Choose how hard they play, from relaxed to brutal - Hand-painted Persian card faces and four card-back designs - Tap a card to play it, or swipe it to the table - Illustrated how-to-play pages for both games - Your profile: wins, streaks, Kots and Surs for each game - Game Center leaderboards and achievements (optional) - Original music - Your game saves automatically and picks up where you left off - Built for iPhone and iPad - Private by design: no tracking, no ads, no data collected Whether you grew up playing Hokm and Pasoor at family gatherings or are meeting them for the first time, if you enjoy Spades, Whist, Bridge, Hearts or Tarneeb, you will feel at home.
