Diwali 2024: Card games you can play with your loved ones

1) Rummy

Rummy is a four-player game that is loved by most Indians and is played in almost every household, particularly during Diwali. The game starts with the distribution of 10 cards to each player with a goal to make three sets of cards either with the same cards of different suits or consecutive cards of the same suit. This interesting game ends whenever one person makes their 3 sets first.

2) Teen Do Paanch?(3-2-5)

This three-player game has been around for generations and is a quick learn. The tricky game is equally dependent on your luck as it is your skill! With one player making 5 hands and another making 3 and the dealer making 2, the luck is always in the favour of the dealer in that round at least. But! it is upon you to change your luck and turn the tides in your favour for the next round. The game involves 3 rounds with each player making 5, 3 and 2 hands and the person who made the most hands cumulatively wins!

3) Bluff

If you are an effortless liar, then this is the game for you! Can be played with any number of cards or players you want, this game's goal is to get rid of cards at the earliest. To do that, you have to trick the other's mind while maintaining that innocent look! Whoever has successfully gotten rid of their cards by making the other person take them, wins!

4) Badam Satti (7)

Badam satti is another game that starts with the goal of getting rid of your cards as soon as possible. The game starts with the play of Seven of Hearts and then each player takes a turn to put sequential cards forward, after one player is done the other has to follow depending upon the cards played before him. The game ends with one person getting rid of their cards while the one with the most points is declared the loser.

5) Poker

Even been complimented on your poker face? Then this is the game for you! Poker is all about faking how good your cards are while trying to judge the other's cards and making bets along the way. The game is all about placing a bet according to the rank you believe your hand is worth. The game moves in a clockwise direction, with each player getting to match your bet (if they believe they have a better hand), fold (if they think your hand is better) and call (if they think you are bluffing or they have a better hand that they can outplay).
