Court Piece is a trick-taking card game similar to the whist game where the biggest hand makes trumps after the first five cards have been dealt. Trick play comes to an end once one of the players has won seven tricks. Court Piece is also known as Hokm, Rung or Rang in Persian and Urdu. It is typically played by four players divided into two teams, but there are adaptations for two or three players.

Other games derived from Court Piece have got rid of the peculiar role of the biggest hand or have included additional features like 2 of the hearts as the biggest trump, the requirement to win two straight tricks to pick up tricks, or counting tens instead of tricks.

Court Piece is known to have originated in the Indian subcontinent or Iran. In India, the game is also called Coat Peace, Kot Pees, Chokri, Chakri, Rung or Rang. Other names of the Court Piece are Seven Hands (Iran), t’rup Chaal, and Hok (Israel). It is popularly called Troefcall in the Netherlands and Satat, a well known card game in Mauritius.

In Iran, the game was played with two and three players as well. For a 3 player game, one of the 2s is eliminated which gives 51 cards instead of 52. The cards are then dealt in packs of 5-4-4-4. As soon as one of the players wins more tricks than the opposition, the round will be stopped and the winner will be declared. The game also comes to a halt if a player wins the first 7 games.
