How to play Shelem
Set up your table
Create a room and share its invitation. The host can move players between seats or swap teammates before play starts. Guests confirm readiness after team changes.
Bid on your hand
Each player receives 12 cards, with four cards reserved as Zamin. Bid from 100 to 165 in steps of five, raise the current bid or pass. Calling Shelem is a separate commitment to win every trick.
Choose Zamin and trump
The winning bidder takes the four Zamin cards, discards four cards and chooses the trump suit.
Play with your partner
Follow the led suit when you can. If you cannot, play another suit or a trump. The highest trump wins the trick; without trump, the highest card of the led suit wins.
