Syrian Tarneeb 41 online: how to play, with friends or offline
Syrian Tarneeb 41 is a partnership game where nobody bids for trump: the dealer's last card is turned face up and decides it. Then every player calls how many tricks they will take, and the race is to 41. It plays like 400 with a trump that changes every deal. On Majlis you can play it offline against bots or online with friends.

How to play Syrian Tarneeb 41
- Each player gets 13 cards. The dealer's last card is turned face up for everyone to see.
- Trump is the other suit of the same colour: a heart makes diamonds trump, a diamond hearts, a spade clubs and a club spades. The dealer keeps that card and plays it like any other.
- Each player names the exact number of tricks they will take, once each, and there is no pass. The lowest call is always 2.
- The four calls together must reach at least 11, or the hands are thrown in and dealt again.
- Follow the suit that was led when you can. The highest card of that suit takes the trick, and any trump beats the other suits.
Scoring and winning
- Scoring is per player. Calls of 2 to 4 count at face value.
- Calls of 5 to 8 count double (10, 12, 14, 16), but once your own score is 30 or more a 5 or 6 counts only 5 or 6.
- Calls of 9 to 12 count triple (27, 30, 33, 36).
- Reach your call and you add its value; fall short and you lose it.
- Call 13 and take every trick, and your team wins the match on the spot (if your score was below zero, it counts 41 instead). Miss it and you lose 41.
- A team wins when one partner reaches 41 and the other partner's score is above zero.
