About this game

Gulam Chor (Jack Thief) is an easy card game. The word Gulam means Jack, and the word Chor means thief. This game is played with one regular deck of 52 cards,
The player with Jack of spade starts the game by throwing away the Jack of Spade. Starting with the player who discarded Jack of Spade (let’s call him Leader) the play follows by each player discarding any pairs they have, and place them face down on the table. When all the players have placed their pairs face down on the table, play begins.
When the turn returns back to the Leader he/she picks up a card from hand of the next player sitting clockwise. This player checks to see if the card he selected can be paired up with any in his hand. If it can, the pair is placed face down on the table with the other pairs. The players continue around the circle until all cards have been paired and discarded. At the end of the game, the player holding the Jack card is the Jack Thief and has lost the game.
