Pasur Scoring Guide: Count Haft Khaj, Special Cards and Sur
Score a Pasur round step by step: Haft Khaj, the 10 of Diamonds, 2 of Clubs, Aces, Jacks, net Surs, and the race to 62.
To score Pasur, count six categories after each round: Haft Khaj is 7 points, the 10 of Diamonds is 3, the 2 of Clubs is 2, every Ace is 1, every Jack is 1, and every net Sur is 5. Add the round score to the running match total; the first player to 62 wins.
Pasur scoring table
| Scoring category | Points |
|---|---|
| Haft Khaj: most clubs, with at least 7 clubs | 7 |
| 10 of Diamonds | 3 |
| 2 of Clubs | 2 |
| Each Ace | 1 |
| Each Jack | 1 |
| Each net Sur | 5 |
Kings, Queens, ordinary number cards, and the total number of captured cards do not score directly under the standard PlayPasur rules.
Step 1: count clubs for Haft Khaj
There are 13 clubs in the deck. The player who captured more clubs earns the 7-point Haft Khaj bonus, but only after capturing at least seven clubs.
In a complete two-player round, one player will normally have at least seven clubs because all 13 clubs are captured. The 2 of Clubs counts toward the club total and can also score its separate 2-point bonus.
Step 2: find the two special number cards
The 10 of Diamonds is worth 3 points. The 2 of Clubs is worth 2 points. These are the only number cards with their own fixed point values.
The 2 of Clubs can matter twice: it contributes one club toward Haft Khaj and scores 2 points on its own. The 10 of Diamonds does not belong to another scoring category unless it was part of a Sur capture.
Step 3: count Aces and Jacks
Each Ace is worth 1 point, for up to 4 points across the deck. Each Jack is also worth 1 point, for another possible 4.
Jacks are powerful during play because they collect every non-King and non-Queen pool card, but clearing the pool with a Jack is not a Sur.
Step 4: calculate net Surs
A Sur is worth 5 points, but the two players do not keep independent Sur totals. An opponent's Sur cancels one of yours.
- You score two Surs and your opponent scores none: you receive 10 points.
- You score two Surs and your opponent scores one: you receive 5 points.
- Each player scores one Sur: neither player receives Sur points.
A pool clear on the sixth and final deal is not a Sur under the standard rules.
Worked scoring example
Suppose Mina captured:
- 8 clubs, including the 2 of Clubs
- The 10 of Diamonds
- 3 Aces
- 1 Jack
- 2 Surs, while her opponent scored 1 Sur
Her score is:
| Category | Calculation | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Haft Khaj | Most clubs, at least 7 | 7 |
| 10 of Diamonds | 1 × 3 | 3 |
| 2 of Clubs | 1 × 2 | 2 |
| Aces | 3 × 1 | 3 |
| Jacks | 1 × 1 | 1 |
| Net Surs | (2 − 1) × 5 | 5 |
| Round total | 21 |
Add 21 to Mina's existing match score. If that takes her to 62 or above, finish the round and compare totals. If both players cross 62 in the same round, the higher total wins; an exact tie requires another round.
What is the maximum score without Surs?
The fixed scoring categories total 20 points across the deck:
- Haft Khaj: 7
- 10 of Diamonds: 3
- 2 of Clubs: 2
- Four Aces: 4
- Four Jacks: 4
Surs can push a player's round above that fixed total.
