What it is
Rang Badal (“change the colour”) is our own shedding card game, played with 108 cards in four festival colours: Kesar, Neel, Hara and Gulabi. Everyone starts with seven cards and takes turns to put one on the pile. It has to match the top card by colour or by number or picture. The first player to get rid of every card wins the round.
The picture cards stir things up. Ruko skips the next player, Ulta turns the order round, Do Lo makes the next player pick up two, and Rang Badal lets you choose a new colour. Rang Badal Char changes the colour and makes the next player pick up four, but only when you have nothing of the colour on the table. Every colour also has its own shape, a triangle, circle, square or diamond, so colour-blind players can play just as well.

How to play
Deal seven each
Play the computer (1 to 5 computer players) or open an online table and send the link to friends.
Match the top card
Play a card of the same colour, or the same number or picture. Cards you can play rise up in your hand.
Use the special cards
Ruko skips, Ulta reverses, Do Lo makes the next player pick up two, and Rang Badal changes the colour. When you play a colour changer, you pick the new colour.
Can’t play? Pick up
Tap the pile to pick up a card. If it fits you can play it straight away. At one card left the game calls “Ek baaki!” for you. Empty your hand first to win.
Good to know
Scoring
The winner of a round scores the cards left in everyone else’s hands. Number cards count their number, Ruko, Ulta and Do Lo count 20, and colour changers count 50. Play a single quick round, or play on until someone reaches 200.
Your cards stay yours
Online, each player’s hand is sealed to their own phone, so nobody (not even the table) can peek. If a phone drops out, a computer player takes over the seat.
Stars and badges
Beat the easy or normal computer for up to three stars (fewer cards picked up means more stars), and collect badges like Saaf Haath for winning a round without picking up a single card.
