<h1>General Ganjifa Card Rules</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Ganjifa are playing cards from India and other nations in the region.
|
|
Usually round, some rectangular decks have been produced. The most significant
|
|
difference between Ganjifa and other types of cards is that Ganjifa cards have
|
|
traditionally been individually hand painted. There are any where from eight
|
|
to twelve or more suits per deck, each suit having usually twelve ranks. The
|
|
two most common Ganjifa decks are the Mughal which has eight suits and the
|
|
Dashavatara which has ten. The suits have pip cards numbered from Ace through
|
|
ten and two court cards, the Wazir and the Mir. The order of the suits
|
|
is: Matsya, Kuchha, Varaha, Narsingha, Vamana, Parashurama, Rama,
|
|
Krishna, Buddha, and Kalanki. Ganjifa solitaire games play the same
|
|
as games that use the standard deck but the larger number of different
|
|
cards in a deck (96 or 120) adds an element of complexity. The fact
|
|
that each suit has it's own color makes things quite interesting in
|
|
games that use "Alternate Color" row stacks.</p>
