Bidding begins with the player to the dealer's right and continues counterclockwise. The bids are numbers, representing the number of tricks that the bidder undertakes to win. The lowest bid is 1 and the highest is 13. A player who does not wish to bid at their turn can pass. If all four players pass on their first turn to bid, the hand is thrown in and re-dealt by the same dealer. If the sum of bids of a team exceeds 13, the first player's bid in that team is changed to "Pass". If one or more players bid 8 or more, the one with the highest bid is given the chance to change the Hokm suit, and if there's more than one player with the same high bid, then only the player who bid first is given that chance. If the Hokm suit is changed, the bids of all other players are changed to "Pass".
