Board games from India
Ludo and snakes and ladders both trace back to Indian originals, and pachisi is the cross shaped race game ludo was simplified from. Chowka bhara is the cowrie shell race played across Karnataka and beyond, pallanguzhi is the Tamil seed sowing game on a fourteen pit board, and aadu puli aata sets three tigers against a herd of goats. Navakankari is the Indian form of nine men's morris.
Indian card games
Teen patti is the three card game played at festivals, offered here with play chips only and no real money. Rummy, 29 and bhabhi are family staples: 29 is a four player trick taking game with bidding, and bhabhi is the game where the last player holding cards loses. Tambola, also called housie, is the number calling game for a big group.
Playground games as browser games
Kabaddi, kho kho, pittu or seven stones, kanamachi, gollachut, dariabandha, ekka dokka and guti khela are courtyard and street games turned into short online matches. They are a simple way to show children or friends abroad the games you played outside.
Frequently asked questions
Are the card games played for real money?
No. Teen patti, rummy and every other card game here use play chips or points only. There are no deposits, withdrawals or prizes of any kind.
Can I play with family in another city or country?
Yes. Create a private room in any game and send the room code. Everyone joins from their own device, wherever they are.
Which game is best for a large family group?
Tambola seats up to eight and needs no skill, so it suits all ages. Ludo, bhabhi and antakshari are good choices for four to six players.
