Ganjifa

This card game with the round cards originates from India, it is a trick-taking game called the Game of Kings. There are 8 suits with symbols, in each suit/color there are 2 picture cards, the Raja and his Minister, and 10 number cards. The mechanism how tricks are taken is very unusual: The non-active players must assist the active player to take tricks. He must in Phase 1 place one or more of his highest cards, and the others again place lower cards. Then in Phase 2 he must place one or more of his lowest cards; who now takes the trick is the new active player and begins with Phase 1. If in Phase 1 another player must top the card of the active player, he takes over as active player and starts again with Phase 1.
