پاسور · Visual Walkthrough
Learn Pâsur in 8 lessons
Pâsur is the classic Persian fishing card game — fast, tactical, playable in 15 minutes. This page walks you through every rule with the same card visuals you'll see when you play. Once you've read it, you'll know enough to start a real game. For the dense reference version, see the full rules.
The setup
Each player gets 4 cards face-down. Another 4 cards go face-up to the middle — that's the pool. After both hands are played, four more cards are dealt to each player. Six deals make a round; the player who reaches 62 points first wins the match.
Capture by summing to 11
On your turn you play one card. If your number card plus one or more pool cards add up to exactly 11, you capture all of them. Aces count as 1.
Multi-card captures
You can sweep several pool cards at once as long as they sum to 11 with the card you played. Sometimes multiple combinations are possible — pick the best one (more clubs, higher- value cards).
Kings and Queens match by rank
Face cards don't play the 11-game. A King can only capture another King; a Queen can only capture a Queen. One match per play.
Jacks are wild — they sweep everything
A Jack captures every non-King, non-Queen card on the table at once. Time them well: a Jack on a crowded pool is a huge swing.
If you can capture, you must
You choose which card to play from your hand — but if the card you play can capture something, you have to take the capture. You can't trail a capturing card to deny your opponent.
Sur (سور): clear the pool for a bonus
Cleaning the table in a single non-Jack capture is a Sur (the Persian word for sweep). It's worth 5 extra points on top of the cards you took.
Scoring: race to 62
After every round you count up your captured pile. Match the special cards below and add any surs. First player to 62 points across rounds wins the match.
