Teen Patti Yas - Introduction & Rules
Introduction:
Teen Patti, also known as "Yas," is a popular card game in South Asia, especially during festivals and social gatherings. It’s a simplified version of poker, blending strategy, luck, and bluffing. Played with a standard 52-card deck, the game involves 3-6 players competing to have the best 3-card hand or outsmart opponents through betting tactics.
How to Play Teen Patti?
1. Setup
Players: 3-6 (no dealer needed).
Deck: Standard 52 cards (no jokers).
Ante: All players contribute an agreed initial bet (boot amount) to the pot.
2. Card Rankings (Strongest to Weakest)
Trail/Set: Three cards of the same rank (e.g., 3 Aces).
Pure Sequence/Straight Flush: Three consecutive cards of the same suit (e.g., 5♦-6♦-7♦).
Sequence/Straight: Three consecutive cards, mixed suits (e.g., 7♥-8♣-9♦).

3. Gameplay
Each player gets 3 face-down cards.
Players take turns to bet, call, or fold (clockwise).
Betting options:
Play Blind (no card viewing): Bet without seeing cards (lower risk, lower rewards).
Play Seen (view cards): Bet after checking cards (higher stakes).
Blind players must bet at least the current stake or double if all active players are blind.
Seen players must bet at least double the current stake.
4. Winning
The last remaining player or the one with the best hand after a showdown wins the pot.
If two players have equal hands, the one with the higher suit wins (Spades > Hearts > Diamonds > Clubs).
5. Variations
