Teen Patti, sometimes spelled Teen Pathi, means “three cards”. It is an Indian card game. An international 52 card pack is used, cards ranking in the usual order from ace (high) down to two (low). it is probably best for about 2 to 5 players.
Since we are only playing with 3 cards, there are fewer winning options than in most Poker variations. From highest to lowest ranking, we are looking at the following hand rankings in Teen Patti:
- Trio – Three of a kind
- Straight run (Straight flush or pure sequence)
- Normal run (Sequence)
- Colour (Flush)
- Pair – Two of a kind
- High card
