Gameplay Rules:

Each player receives three cards dealt clockwise. The hand's value determines the winner, with the highest score prevailing. Points are calculated as follows:

1. Number cards (7-9): Award their face value (7-9 points respectively).
2. Face cards (10, J, Q, K): Each is worth 10 points.
3. Aces: Each Ace contributes 11 points.
4. Same Suit Combination: Cards of the same suit are summed for their total value. For example: Q♦, K♦, 10♠ total 20 points; 10♠, 8♠, K♥ total 18 points.
5. Ace Combinations: Aces can be combined regardless of suit. Two Aces equal 22 points; three Aces equal 33 points.
6. The 7♣ ("Ceco Jonchev," "Chechak," "Chotora," "Shpoka," or "Yoncho"): This card combines with any other card for a total of 11 points.
7. Three Sevens: Three 7s form the strongest combination, worth a hefty 34 points.
8. Three of a Kind: Three cards of the same rank score the triple of the card's value. For instance, three 8s score 24 points (3 x 8 = 24); three Queens score 30 points (3 x 10 = 30).
