In India, the traditional card game of Teen Patti has gained immense popularity, featuring a unique card ranking system similar to poker. The highest ranking card is the Trail or Set, which consists of three cards of the same rank, such as three Aces. Following this is the Pure Sequence, where three consecutive cards are of the same suit, like 5, 6, and 7 of Hearts. The next in line is the Sequence or Run, which includes three consecutive cards but not necessarily of the same suit, for example, 8 of Spades, 9 of Diamonds, and 10 of Clubs. Then comes the Color or Flush, where all three cards share the same suit but are not in sequence, such as 2, 7, and King of Clubs. After that is the Pair, which involves two cards of the same rank and one unrelated card, like two Queens and a 5. The lowest ranking is the High Card, where no combinations are formed, and the hand is valued by the highest card, such as an Ace. This ranking system is integral to local Indian card products, often sold in markets with beautifully designed decks that reflect cultural themes, making them a favorite during festivals and social gatherings. |
