Kout Bo 6 — the six-player rulebook

Kout Bo 6 (كوت بو ستة) is the six-seat table of the Kuwaiti bidding classic as Tonj’s engine runs it: six players in two teams of three, the FULL 52-card deck plus الجيكر and الميكر = 54 cards, nine cards a player, and the same باب (5) to باون (9) auction. This guide is the rulebook the engine implements — verbatim.

What is Kout Bo 6?

The six-player table of Kout Bo: six players, two teams of three, the full 52-card deck plus the two jokers, nine cards each — and the same auction, jokers and 101-point race as the four-player game.

Kout Bo 6 is live on Tonj

Create a Kout Bo table and flip the mode to كوت بو ستة at the waiting screen: six seats fill with friends or bots. The host picks the size before the first deal, and the code-and-link sharing works the same as the four-player game.

How a match goes

  1. Pick the six-seat table

    At the waiting screen the host flips the table between كوت بو أربعة and كوت بو ستة — six seats fill with rivals or bots, two teams of three, and the seats alternate so partners never sit together.

  2. Bid 5–9 for your trio

    The same auction as the four-player game: from the dealer’s right, each seat speaks once — 5 (باب) to 9 (باون) for their TEAM — or passes. Everyone passing forces the dealer ملزوم; the winner declares الحكم.

  3. Play tricks to 101

    Follow suit; the jokers rule by the same ladder — الجيكر over the trump Ace over الميكر. Made bids bank the bid (36 for a باون), failures pay the opponents double, and first team to 101 wins; 51 against zero is the kout.

Kout Bo 6 rules in detail

Six players, two trios

Six seats, counter-clockwise, two teams of three: the seats alternate around the table (0/2/4 against 1/3/5) so partners never sit side by side. Jawaker’s rulebook pins the team sizes — three a team; the alternating seating is Tonj’s documented arrangement.

The full deck: 54 cards

Unlike the four-player game’s trimmed 36, كوت بو ستة deals the FULL 52 cards plus الجيكر (the red joker) and الميكر (the black joker) = 54 cards — nine cards a player, nine tricks a deal, and the 5–9 auction carries over unchanged.

The ladder starts at 2

With the full deck, the within-suit order runs 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 J Q K A from weakest to strongest — the four-player game never sees the 2s through 5s. The strength of the jokers and the trump Ace is unchanged.

Same الحكم, same jokers

الجيكر beats the trump Ace and الميكر sits under it, with the four-player joker-lead rules: at a bid of 9 both may lead, at 8 only الجيكر, otherwise once the trump’s J, Q, K and A have all been played. A joker lead is a trump lead, and the jokers can always be thrown into any trick.

Scoring and the finish lines

A team meeting its bid banks the bid — 36 for a باون; failing pays the opponents double, a ملزوم 5 only 5. First team to 101+ wins; 51+ against exactly zero is the الكوت shutout; a باون made on the very first deal wins instantly.

Frequently asked questions

What is Kout Bo 6?

How is Kout Bo 6 different from Kout Bo 4?

The table and the deck only: six players in trios instead of pairs, and the full 54-card deal (52 + jokers) instead of 36 — so the rank ladder starts at 2. The auction, the jokers, the scoring and all three finish lines are identical.

Where do the three partners sit?

Alternating around the table: seats 0, 2 and 4 form one team and 1, 3 and 5 the other, so partners never sit side by side — the same parity map the four-player game uses.

Is Kout Bo 6 free?

Yes — both Kout Bo modes run free on Tonj in the browser, with rivals or bots filling the empty seats.
