It is also easy to see from this list that there are two main types of India’s board games: Rummy and Teen Patti. Most of the companies that are going out to India today are offering games in either category.
Rummy
Rummy, first popular in Europe and the United States, has become fashionable in India in recent years, and has a very strong attribute of India’s culture, also known as Indian Rummy poker game. Indian law is strict on online board games, but it is lenient on Rummy games, which are considered to be more skill-based online games and are generally legal in India.
Two popular Rummy games in the Indian market:

Rule: The game is played by two to six participants. Each player starts with 13 cards. The remaining cards are placed back up on the table, with the top card facing the other pile. Subsequent beats are stacked in this pile; The most basic combination is to form a set of 3-4 cards of the same point or a Pure Sequence of at least three straight cards. The matched suits are laid out on the table, otherwise one or more of their hands can be added to another player’s suit. The person with the lowest number of unset cards in their hand after the bottom card is exhausted will win the game, and the winner of each game is awarded the total number of cards in the other players’ hands. The Joker size can be used as any card.
Teen Patti
Teen Patti is a traditional India’s poker game, which translates to “three cards” in Chinese. According to the latest download data, four of the top 13 Teen Patti games are in the Teen Patti genre, which shows how popular the genre is in India. Here are two Teen Patti games that are currently popular in India.

Teen Patti Gold
Rummy and Teen Patti are board games, but the treatment in India is quite different. Although probability games are not all legal in India, the local government has taken a “blind eye” approach to Teen Patti, which neither bans nor advocates it. Foxuc Technology has launched its own Teen Patti game in the Indian market. You are welcome to call us for consultation.
How to play Teen patti: In this game, you can use a deck of 52 cards, ranked from A to 2 (highest to lowest). Before the game begins, everyone is required to bet a minimum amount of money, which is placed in the center of the table. The dealer gives everyone one card at a time until each person has three cards. During the deal, each person can judge whether to increase the chips based on the cards in their hands. Before betting, each person can look at their cards and put them face down on the table if they give up. The three cards with the same number are the largest, or “three of a kind”, where the three A are the largest and the three 2 are the smallest; The sequence (the card with three connected numbers) is the second largest, with A23 being the largest, 234 the smallest, and 2AK invalid; Flush > straight > pair.
Optimization
The above two types of board games, they have differences. In this regard, here are some ideas on the operation of the board game.
1.Local gameplay & innovation
Preserving traditional gameplay is the first requirement to attract users. In the Rummy and Teen Patti games, although some manufacturers have introduced new gameplay and new modes integrating casual, IAA, room, etc., the traditional classic gameplay with simple operation is always the most popular according to market feedback. Valuing traditional gameplay doesn't mean undervaluing innovative gameplay. Enhancing the game's playability and making players feel fresh is the secret of a game's longevity, so it is equally important to launch new game modes and cultivate users' game habits.
2. Enhance the social feature in-game
Social apps make up more than half of the top grossing apps in India, so social board and card games are also popular. At present, in the chess and card games launched by various manufacturers in India, you can not only invite friends to play together by sharing links, but also add various ranking lists, including season ranking, friends ranking, country ranking and world ranking. The top ranking can also get game coins.

3. Local Players' habit
There are big differences between Indian players’ gaming habits and ours, such as the layout of buttons on the interface. We tend to put buttons on the upper right side of the interface, while some Indian games prefer to put buttons on the lower left side. In addition, in the Indian game interface, the characters are also full of exotic clothes and images. For example, Teen Patti Octro-Play Online, a popular game, its layout of buttons on the interface, the image of characters, and the color matching of themes all present a completely different aesthetic. As for these details, if we do not pay attention to them and copy the operation habits and aesthetics of Chinese games when launching games, it will be easy to make a mistake from Indian players.
4. Multilingual Support
In 2016, the number of local language Internet users in India reached 234 million, surpassing the 175 million Indian English Internet users. The number of native language users in India is expected to reach 536 million by 2021. India’s language is complex, and although there are English and Hindi as official languages, a significant number of Internet users still speak regional languages such as Marathi and Gujarati, so it would be wise to support multilingual options in order to reach more Indian users.
