Hokm is Iran's classic trick-taking card game for four players in two partnerships, painted like the coffeehouse pictures of the Shahnameh. Call the trump, follow suit, take seven tricks. Play online, on your own network with friends, or alone against the bots.
Start in the Serf Shack with twenty-five gold. Grow herbs, raise a herd, tan the hides, brew phials, melt a beaten man's harness into a sword, and sell the lot. Then buy the castle. An isometric medieval life sim where every day is a twenty-minute countdown and the rent is still due.
