APE9

Indian Card Games Online

Card games are a fixture of family evenings, festivals and long train journeys across India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan. APE9 brings 6 of the best-loved South Asian games online, played with their traditional rules: Callbreak and Twenty-Nine for trick-takers, Marriage and 13-card Indian Rummy for rummy players, Hazari for hand-building, and Bhabhi for a lively shedding finish.

Each game runs in the browser with no download, explains its rules on the page, and fills empty seats with bots so you can practise alone before inviting friends to a private room. Scoring follows the common house rules described on each game page.

Where to start

  • Spades as permanent trump and an exact call each hand: start with Callbreak if you already know Spades.
  • Hidden trump and a points-based auction: Twenty-Nine is the deeper partnership game.
  • Rummy with jokers: Indian Rummy needs a pure sequence to show, while Marriage plays 21 cards with the Tiplu and Maal.
  • Four packets of poker-style combinations: Hazari is a puzzle you solve before the first trick.
