Leekha online: how to play, with friends or offline
Leekha is a classic card game where points are bad: you pass three cards, then try not to take the Queen of spades, the 10 of diamonds or any heart. Majlis has Leekha, each player for themselves, and Leekha Partner, in two teams. Play offline against bots or online with friends.
At a glance
- Players: 4, each for themselves, or two partnerships in Leekha Partner.
- Trump: none.
- Penalty cards: Queen of spades 13, 10 of diamonds 10, each heart 1.
- End: reaching 151 loses in Leekha; reaching 101 loses for the team in Leekha Partner.
- On Majlis: offline against 3 bots, or online at a private or public table.
How to play Leekha
- Each player gets 13 cards. Every deal starts with all four passing 3 cards at the same time: to the right, then to the left, taking turns.
- There is no trump. Follow suit if you can; the highest card of the suit that was led takes the trick.
- If you can't follow suit and you hold the Queen of spades or the 10 of diamonds, you must play one of them.
- The deal stops as soon as every heart, the Queen of spades and the 10 of diamonds have been taken.
Scoring and winning
- Points are bad: the Queen of spades is 13, the 10 of diamonds 10 and every heart 1.
- Leekha (each for themselves): after the pass, whoever holds the Queen of spades or the 10 of diamonds may double it. They earn nothing from it, and whoever takes it gets double (26 or 20).
- Leekha: the first player to reach 151 loses, and the lowest total wins.
- Leekha Partner: when a player reaches 101 their team loses; if both teams have a player there, the lower team total wins.
