context_page_description: Tarneeb also spelled Tarnibe and Tarnib and called hakam Arabic: حكم‎ in the Persian Gulf region, is a plain trick-taking card game played in various middle eastern countries, most notably in the countries of the Levant and also in Tanzania. The game may be considered a variation of Whist, or a version of Spades.
context_section_description: The bidding begins with the first player to the right of the dealer and continues counter-clockwise. It consists of a number of tricks seven or above. A bid of more tricks outranks any bid of fewer tricks.
  Each person can bid once, yet if any other player bids higher, one has the privilege of raising their bid, except in the case of passing a bid, wherein one is excluded from the bidding process.
  Some players use the option of telling their partner how good their cards are i.e., helpful, not helpful at all.
