When you know you’re playing with the same players, you’ll see that the game becomes monotonous and predictable at some point.

For centuries, Indians have put in major efforts to find solutions to boredom! Especially in a country like India, where we have long queues almost everywhere or we’re on a long train journey, man of us carry a deck of cards to beat boredom and rummy is everyone’s first choice. And now, with internet connectivity available almost everywhere, online rummy keeps people entertained for hours at a stretch.
India’s fascination for card games is not just restricted to urban areas but in rural areas as well, you’ll find people gathering in the evening to play cards, chat and laugh till the wee hours of morning. A faint smell of their hookahs or endless cups of tea makes the game even more fun!
Card games are the easiest and simplest form of recreation and Indians love it for the very reason! With time, rummy has maintained its charm with Indians and in fact, we have our own version of rummy, called Indian rummy!
Rummy has transformed its ways of being played. From what was essentially a club-oriented indulgence and would peak among certain sections during Diwali, card games like rummy have now become a year-round indulgence for Indians. Although online card gaming has a long way to go in the country, the impact it has made in recent years is noticeable and it is clear that the future of the industry may be bright in the country.
