Teen Patti

Teen Patti ("three cards") is India's favourite card game. Everyone puts the boot into the pot and gets three cards. Free play chips only — no real money, and you get a free refill if you run out.

Hand ranking (best first)

• Trail — three of a kind (A-A-A is the best hand).
• Pure sequence — three in a row of one suit.
• Sequence — three in a row. A-K-Q is the highest, then A-2-3, then K-Q-J … down to 4-3-2.
• Colour — three of one suit.
• Pair, then High card. Ties are compared card by card (Ace high).

Betting

• You start blind (cards unseen). A blind player bets 1× the current stake (or 2× to raise).
• Tap See cards to play seen — seen players must chaal 2× the stake (or 4× to raise).
• Pack folds your hand.
• Side show (seen players, 3+ left): ask the previous player to compare cards privately; the weaker hand packs. They may refuse.
• Show (only 2 players left): pay a bet and both hands are revealed. On a tie, the player who asked for the show loses.
• If the pot reaches its limit, all remaining hands are shown.
