- Cards from 7 to 9: These cards give 7 to 9 points respectively.
- Cards 10, J, Q, K: Each of these cards awards 10 points.
- Aces: An Ace is worth 11 points.
- Same Color Cards: The total points for cards of the same suit are the sum of their individual values. For example, Q♦, K♦, and 10♠ total 20 points, while 10♠, 8♠, and K♥ total 18 points.
- Aces Combination: Aces can be combined regardless of suit. Two Aces are worth 22 points, and three Aces total 33 points.
- 7♣ (Ceco Jonchev, Chechak, Chotora, Shpoka, or Yoncho): This card can be combined with any other card to yield 11 points.
- Three 7s: This combination is the strongest in the game, totaling 34 points.
- Three of a Kind: The points for three cards of the same rank are calculated by multiplying the value of the card by three. For instance, three 8s give 24 points (3 x 8 = 24), and three Queens give 30 points (3 x 10 = 30).
