Summary
Teen Patti is a three-card betting game: everyone antes a boot, gets cards face down, and bets on whether theirs are the strongest. This version has a full table of up to 12 players with blind and seen play, chaal and raise, pack, side shows, show, and side pots for all-ins. Friends join with a short invite code and then connect straight to each other with WebRTC, so there is no account and no game server holding the cards; a free public connection service only introduces the devices. It also has three ways to play, a ranked guide to every hand with exact odds, and a win-chance calculator: pick your cards on a board, set the table size, and see how likely you are to win.
How to play
- 1Host a table and press Invite a friend. You get a short code like K7M29Q-4XAF. Send it to a friend; they tap Join with a code and type it in. Repeat for each friend, up to 11, or fill seats with bots.
- 2The host is marked with a crown and is the table's admin: they can remove players, and anyone can change their own name.
- 3Choose the game: Classic (3 cards), Best of 3 (4 cards, drop the weakest) or Imagine One (2 cards plus a best-possible imagined third).
- 4Everyone pays the boot and gets their cards face down. Tap your cards to look, or stay blind and bet cheaper.
- 5On your turn, chaal to stay in, raise to double the bet, or pack to fold. Seen players pay double what blind players do.
- 6Once you have seen, you can ask the seen player before you for a side show: a private comparison where the weaker hand packs. They can refuse.
- 7With two players left, either can pay for a show to compare hands. The best hand wins the pot; if the hands tie, the player who asked for the show loses.
- 8Open the Win calculator any time to see your chances for a hand you pick. The user manual walks through every step with screenshots.

About the game
Teen Patti means "three cards" in Hindi. It is a gambling card game of South Asia, in the same family as the English game of three-card brag, and it is played with betting rounds in which each player decides whether to stay in on a hand they may not even have looked at.
Rules differ from table to table, and house variations are common. This version uses the ranking most players know: Trail, Pure Sequence, Sequence, Color, Pair and High Card, with A-K-Q the highest run and A-2-3 the second.
An original game. The table, sounds and bots were made for this site; nothing is taken from another game. The card faces are from the open-source SVG-cards deck by David Bellot (LGPL 2.1). Play chips only; there is no money in it, and chips cannot be bought, won as prizes or cashed out. For adults aged 18 and over. Do not play for money, and play only where it is lawful for you.
