How to play Tunisian Chkobba
Play one card each turn and capture an equal-ranked table card when one is available.
When there is no equal-ranked card, capture a valid combination whose values add up to the played card.
Clearing the table during normal play scores a Chkobba sweep.
At the end of a round, points include the most cards, most diamonds, Bermila, the seven of diamonds and earned Chkobba sweeps.
The match ends when a player reaches 11 points with the required winning margin.
