Thursday, November 4, the Diwali celebrations begin in India. This festivity is one of the most enjoyed by the Indian population, but also it is a very important tourist attraction for the country. Traditional dishes such as samosa, Gulab Jamun or Murukku, are delicacies that are enjoyed during these days. But perhaps the biggest attraction is the habit of playing cards and trusting self luck.

Teen Patti
Teen Patti is a game originally from India and is very popular throughout South Asia. For many, it is the official game of Diwali, because people consider that its existence is a direct consequence of the gods of luck.
In English, the name of the game means “three cards”, precisely because each player has three cards to participate in. But such a small number of cards is not synonymous with being an easy game, which is why there is this Teen Patti guide in which you can learn in a simple way the basic rules to play and manage to gather the best hand to win.

Unlike the previous one, where each player receives three cards, there are many more cards implied, being a total of 13 for each. It is better known worldwide since it is very dynamic and does not want complex strategies to win, simply the first person in which it is able to create several sequences of cards, will win.
