About Hazari

Hazari, meaning one thousand, is a classic four-player partition card game from Bangladesh.

Four comparison tricks are then played using Teen Patti hand rankings: Troy, Colour Run, Run, Colour, Pair, and Indi. First to reach 1,000 points wins.

Tips for Hazari

Balance your hand carefully: putting all your high cards into Group 1 leaves your remaining groups vulnerable to being swept by opponents.
Remember that Colour Runs and Runs beat simple Flushes and Pairs, so prioritise making sequences even with lower cards.
Strive to save at least a pair or high cards in your four-card final group to capture the high point-value cards played in the final trick.
