History & origins
Estimar is known as Syrian Tarneeb for three players, belonging to the wider trick-taking tradition of the Levant.
Its 8–5–3 responsibilities distinguish it from the four-player partnership game. Players pursue different targets within the same deal.
Jawna follows this three-player form. Its regional identity is established more clearly than a particular inventor, publication year or single route of spread.
