Indian fishing in partnership, where a clean sweep is worth fifty.
Also called sweep, and played across northern India in partnerships. A fishing game with an unusually large scoring swing: a clean sweep is worth fifty.
A 52-card deck. Cards count their face value, jack 11, queen 12, king 13, ace 1 — except the ace of spades and the other spades from ace to ten, which are the point cards.
The dealer's partner leads. The player to the dealer's right is dealt four cards and must lay one face up as the house — a card of 9 or higher — and thirteen cards are then dealt to each player.
On your turn, play a card and capture any table card of the same value, or any set of table cards adding to your card's value. Court cards capture only by matching rank.
You may combine cards on the table into a single pile announcing a total, provided you hold a card that can take it. Opponents may raise your pile to a different total if they can also cover it, which is where most of the play happens.
Clear the table completely with a capture and score a seep, worth 50 points. This is the whole reason the game is exciting and the reason nobody leaves a single low card lying around.
Each spade from ace to ten scores its face value. Each spade court card scores its value. The ace of any suit scores 1. The ten of diamonds scores 6.
Plus 50 for every seep. The partnership with more points wins the difference, and the game runs to an agreed total.
