I'm not finding much in reliable sources, but
[1] is a reliable source that it has existed in the past and there are a number of on-line versions of the game on the web. IAR keep on the theory that it appears to be a real and significant game, but I can't find sufficient sources to meet
WP:N.

Comment: the
French page gives two bibliographic sources. I don't know what the notability criteria are for card games, but they would presumably serve as references for the rules at least, if someone can find them and check. As it happens I have an older edition of one (the Penguin book) and can't find the game in there, but then I can't find
Spades, either.

Ah, Google Books couldn't locate it in their copy either under the name 400, but the 'lire en ligne' link from the French page suggested looking up "41, Syrian card game" instead, which is there (in Google's copy, not mine):
that leads me to
this page also giving the rules and attesting to the "400" variant name. Unfortunately, the Penguin book gives different scoring - just double points for 7 tricks or more, whereas we and Pagat say double for 5+, triple for 9+ and instant win for 13). Anyway, some coverage at least, to weigh into considerations.

Keep. Finding RS in English is difficult for the countries concerned but good work by previous commenters indicates verifiability.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,

Keep I don't like IAR keep call it GNG keep the sources provided show that if someone with the language skills could locate the sources, they would likely exist, which meats the criteria for GNG. Let's not delete this because of systemic bias.
