Which should you pick?

  • 1
    When to pick Indian Rummy

    Choose Rummy if you enjoy arranging cards into legal groups and longer hands. Same APK as Teen Patti — different skill and different key rule (pure sequence).

  • 2
    When to pick Teen Patti

    Choose Teen Patti if you want three-card rankings and faster pot decisions. Do not paste Rummy meld words onto the Classic ladder.

  • 3
    When they look similar but are not

    Both say “pure sequence,” but in Rummy it is a meld requirement; in Teen Patti it is a ranking category below trail. Same phrase, different games.
