Game Library Overview
Our lobby centres on three classic formats: Teen Patti, Indian Rummy and Andar Bahar. Each one offers a different rhythm. Teen Patti rewards nerve and observation, Rummy rewards planning and memory, and Andar Bahar rewards discipline and a calm mindset. Other table styles may appear from time to time, so check the lobby inside the app or on the official site for the latest list.
| Game | Cards dealt | Core skill | Pace |
|---|---|---|---|
| Teen Patti | 3 per player | Reading opponents, timing | Fast |
| Indian Rummy | 13 per player | Memory, planning, sets and sequences | Medium |
| Andar Bahar | 1 joker card, then alternating deals | Discipline and pacing | Very fast |
Teen Patti
Teen Patti, often called Indian Poker, uses a standard 52-card deck. Every player receives three cards, and the goal is to hold the strongest hand when the round ends. Players put virtual chips into the pot and decide each turn whether to continue, raise or fold.
Hand rankings
| Rank | Hand | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Trail (Set) | Three cards of the same rank |
| 2 | Pure sequence | Three consecutive cards of the same suit |
| 3 | Sequence | Three consecutive cards of mixed suits |
| 4 | Colour | Three cards of the same suit, not in sequence |
| 5 | Pair | Two cards of the same rank |
| 6 | High card | None of the above; highest card decides |
Blind and seen play
A player who has not looked at their cards is playing “blind”, while a player who has checked them is “seen”. The two states usually carry different chip requirements, which adds a layer of tactics. Blind play carries uncertainty, while seen play lets you make a more informed choice.
Teen Patti tips
- Fold weak hands early instead of protecting chips you have already put in.
- Watch how often opponents raise. Patterns reveal confidence or bluffing.
- Vary your style so that nobody can predict you.
- Pick tables with stakes that leave you room to play several rounds.
Indian Rummy
Indian Rummy is played with 13 cards per player. You draw one card and discard one card each turn, building your hand into valid groups. A valid declaration needs at least one pure sequence (without a joker) and the remaining cards arranged into sets and sequences.
Key terms
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pure sequence | Three or more consecutive cards of the same suit with no joker |
| Impure sequence | A sequence that uses one or more jokers |
| Set | Three or four cards of the same rank from different suits |
| Joker | A wild card that can substitute for another card in a sequence or set |
| Declaration | Showing a valid hand to finish the round |
Rummy tips
- Aim to form a pure sequence as early as possible.
- Discard high-value unmatched cards first to limit penalty points.
- Track what opponents pick and discard to guess their needs.
- Keep flexible cards that can fit into more than one group.
- Do not hold on to a weak plan for too long. Be ready to rebuild.

Andar Bahar
Andar Bahar is one of the easiest card games to understand. A single card is revealed as the joker. Cards are then dealt one at a time, alternating between two sides called Andar (inside) and Bahar (outside), until a card matching the joker’s rank appears. The side that receives the match wins the round.
Because the game depends heavily on chance, the best approach is discipline. Treat each round as independent, because earlier outcomes do not change the next card. Decide your session length and chip limit before you begin, and take breaks since the quick pace can make time pass unnoticed.
Tables, Stakes and Modes
Tables are grouped so you can choose by game type and by the virtual chip level that suits you. Lower-stake tables are ideal for beginners and for testing new tactics. Higher-stake tables raise the pressure, so move up only when you are comfortable with the pace.
Practice-friendly tables
Start small, watch how experienced players behave and learn without heavy pressure.
Quick-play rounds
Short sessions for busy days when you only have a few minutes.
Event tables
Seasonal and themed events appear from time to time. Check the bonus page and in-app notices.
Friendly competition
Card games are social. Keep the mood positive and respect your opponents.
Table Etiquette and Fair Play
- Be courteous. Avoid abusive or offensive language.
- Do not use cheating tools, scripts or any form of collusion.
- Do not exploit technical faults. Report them through the official support options.
- Respect the time of other players and act within the turn timer.
Play Responsibly
Games are for entertainment. Set a time limit and a chip limit before you start, take regular breaks and stop if you feel frustrated. Never play when tired or upset, and do not try to win back a bad session. Diwa Fun is for adults aged 18 and above, and you should always follow the laws that apply where you live. See the disclaimer for more information.
