As a homage to Thomas, here’s a breakdown of his game’s mechanics and cultural insights:
Core Rules:
Use standard Rummy cards but include Joker cards shaped as camels and Wild cards inspired by Rajasthani festivals.
Create sets of 4 or more cards with the same number/suit OR sequences of 3+ cards in consecutive order.
Cultural Elements:
Scoring: Subtract 50 points for every Rajasthani folk tune quoted correctly during discards.
Special Rounds: During Diwali or Holi events, players draw bonus cards for completing cultural-themed sequences (e.g., "Rajasthani festivals").
Thomas’ Legacy Challenge:
To unlock the final round, players must arrange a sequence of 7 cards matching the colors of the Rajasthan flag (Maroon, White, Green).
Posthumous Update:
Thomas’ final design, Gatka Rummy, combines card play with martial arts moves ( virtual, of course!). Players earn points by "defending" their cards using Kalaripayattu stances.
Final Note: Thomas once said, “Games are the threads weaving our culture into the future.” Rest in peace, visionary.
