Hez2: A Popular Moroccan Card Game
Hez2 is a classic Moroccan card game perfect for family gatherings. This turn-based game supports up to four players (solo, two-player, three-player, or four-player games). A player's turn involves playing a card that matches either the suit or rank of the previously played card. If a player lacks a matching card, they must draw one from the deck. Even with a playable card, a player may choose to draw instead. The goal is to be the first to empty your hand.
Special Cards:
-
2: When a 2 is played, the next player must draw two cards. If they also hold a 2, they can choose to draw two cards or play their 2, forcing the following player to draw four, and so on. This continues until a player without a 2 draws the cumulative number of cards.
-
7: Playing a 7 allows the player to change the required suit for the next card played.
-
10: The player who plays a 10 must immediately play another card. If the 10 was their last card, they must draw a card.
-
12: (Not applicable in two-player games) In three or four-player games, playing a 12 skips the next player's turn.
The game concludes when a player plays their last card (with slight variations if the last card is a 2 or 10), and that player is declared the winner.
Hez2 uses a 40-card deck with four suits:
- 10 Copas (Tbaye9)
- 10 Espadas (Syouf)
- 10 Oros (D'hab)
- 10 Bastos (Zrawéte)
Each suit contains cards numbered 1-7 and 10-12.
Hez2 is fun for everyone! Enjoy the game!
