How to play JILI card games
JILI makes the card games people play at home in South and Southeast Asia: Teen Patti, Pusoy, Tongits, Rummy, CallBreak. Each one below has its rules in plain words and its hands drawn out, so you know what beats what before you sit down.
Teen Patti, AK47 and Teen Patti Joker
India's three-card game. Everyone gets three cards and the best three-card hand wins. Note that a straight (sequence) beats a flush (colour) here, the opposite of five-card poker.
- Hands rank from Trail (three of a kind) down to High card, as dealt out on the green table.
- AK47: any A, K, 4 or 7 in your hand is wild and stands in for the card you need, as JILI puts it.
- Teen Patti Joker adds a joker card that works the same way.
- Teenpatti 20-20: the dealer deals three cards to a left and a right hand and you bet on the side you think is stronger.

Caribbean Stud, Texas Hold'em, Video Poker and Mini Flush
The casino poker games. You play against the dealer, not other players, and the better poker hand wins.
- Caribbean Stud: you and the dealer get five cards each; decide whether to raise or fold after you see yours.
- Ultimate Texas Hold'em: two cards each plus five shared cards on the table; make your best five.
- Video Poker: you get five cards, keep the ones you want and replace the rest once.
- Mini Flush deals three cards to you and the dealer, so it ranks hands like Teen Patti above.

Pusoy Go
The Philippine four-player game JILI describes as a self-arranged card battle. You get 13 cards and split them into three hands of 3, 5 and 5 cards.
- Front: 3 cards. Middle: 5 cards. Back: 5 cards.
- The back hand must be the strongest and the front the weakest, or the arrangement fouls.
- Each of your three hands is compared with the same hand of every other player; win more rows to win the round.

Tongits Go
The Philippine rummy game. Draw and discard to build melds, and try to end with the fewest points left in your hand.
- A meld is three or four cards of the same rank, or three or more in a row of one suit.
- Win by using up every card (Tongits), by calling a showdown when you hold the lowest points, or by having the lowest points when the deck runs out. JILI calls these its three types of victory.
- Picture cards count 10, aces 1, other cards their number.

Set: same rank
Run: in a row, one suit
Rummy and Pool Rummy
Indian Rummy with 13 cards. Arrange all of them into sequences and sets and declare before anyone else.
- A sequence is three or more cards in a row of one suit; a set is three or four cards of one rank in different suits.
- You need at least two sequences, and one of them must be pure (no joker).
- Pool Rummy is played over several deals; players are knocked out as their points add up, and the last one left wins.

CallBreak and CallbreakQuick
A four-player trick game from Nepal and India. Look at your 13 cards, call how many tricks you will win, then make that call.
- Spades are trumps: any spade beats any card of another suit.
- Follow the suit that was led if you can; the highest card of that suit, or the highest spade, takes the trick.
- Make your call and you score it; fall short and you lose it.
- CallbreakQuick squeezes the usual three or five rounds into one deciding round, as JILI describes it.
