Kort glossary

Words you'll come across at the table and in the game, in alphabetical order.

At-bavan: Bavan after an At-kort: the team without the trump took all 13 tricks. Gives 13 wins, which wins the match if there are no spectators at the table. More.
At-kort: A 7:0 round for the team that didn't choose the trump. Gives 7 wins, which wins the match at once if there are no spectators at the table.
Away: A mark at the seat of a player who ran out of time, so a bot made the move for them. Until the player taps “I'm back”, the bot plays for them instantly, and their cards are covered.
Bavan: A commitment, after a Kort or At-kort, to take all 13 tricks. Success after a Kort gives 10 wins instead of 5 (after an At-kort it's an At-bavan: 13 instead of 7); failure gives the opponents 5 wins. The two players of the team that made the 7:0 decide within 30 seconds.
Bavan failed: During Bavan, the opponents took at least one trick. They get 5 wins, and the team that went for Bavan loses the Kort as well.
Coins: The currency for the shop and gifts, and since version 1.2.6, for your own avatar too. Purchased coins can be gifted; earned ones (prizes, gifts and coins for ads) can only be spent.
Cups: Rating points. At the start of every season, everyone has 1,000. They're gained and lost only in ranked games. More.
Face cards: The jack, queen and king. If the trump holder has none at all, they can ask for a redeal. An ace doesn't count as a face card.
Kort: A 7:0 round for the team that chose the trump. Gives 5 wins. After a Kort, the team can go for Bavan.
Lead suit: The suit of the first card in a trick. The others must follow it if they have it.
Lobby: The list of rooms, public and private: the “Enter lobby” button. Rooms where the match has started and ranked tables aren't shown there.
Match: A game to 7 wins, or to 3 wins in a ranked game.
Partner: The player on your team. Sits opposite you.
Ranked game: An online mode with random opponents and a match to 3 wins. The only mode where you earn cups.
Redeal: A new deal at the trump holder's request, if they have no face cards at all. The score and the trump holder don't change, and there's no limit on the number of redeals.
Room owner: The player who created the room. Only they add and remove bots and tap “Start”.
Round: One deal. It ends when one team has taken 7 tricks, or in Bavan, at 13:0 or the opponents' first trick.
Sar: A declaration when leading a trump: a single trump lead, after which the team leads a non-trump card. It's declared automatically if the player has fewer than three trumps or the team already has 5 tricks or more.
Season: A calendar month in Bishkek time. At the end of the season, the top 100 places on the leaderboard get prizes, and everyone's cups go back to 1,000. More.
Spectator: A player who watches the match in a private room; up to two people. After every 2 wins by one of the teams, the spectators swap places with the losers.
Thirteenth card, “13”: A button for choosing the trump: the trump will be the suit of the last card the trump holder receives. Everyone sees this card.
Time bank: In online games, 20 seconds for the whole round on top of the 10 seconds per move. It's used when you don't make your move in time, and refills at the start of a new round.
Trick: One circuit of four cards. It's taken by the highest trump or, if there are no trumps, by the highest card of the lead suit. Each trick is 1 point for the team.
Trop: A declaration when leading a trump: the team commits to leading trumps three times in a row, as long as it keeps taking tricks. After that, it must lead a different suit.
Trop failed: The round result when Trop to the end isn't completed. The opponents get 1 win.
Trop to the end: A Trop for all of the first 7 tricks. Only the trump holder can declare it, on the first lead of the round, with 7 trumps or more. One trick by the opponents and the round is lost. The badge shows “Trop 7”.
Trump: The suit that beats all the others: any trump beats any non-trump card. The trump holder chooses it at the start of the round.
Trump holder: The player who, in this round, chooses the trump from their first five cards and makes the first lead. Only they can declare Trop to the end and ask for a redeal.
