Andar Bahar – A Game That Needs No Introduction in Pakistan
Ask anyone in Karachi, Lahore, Hyderabad or Multan if they have played Andar Bahar and the chances are they have — at Eid gatherings, family events or just casually with friends. The game has been part of South Asian culture for centuries, and its appeal has never faded. Simple enough to explain in thirty seconds, yet compelling enough to keep you playing for hours.
The mechanics are as straightforward as card games get. The dealer draws one card face-up in the centre — this is the Joker card. Two piles are then dealt to: Andar (the inner pile, on the left) and Bahar (the outer pile, on the right). Cards are dealt alternately to each pile until one of them receives a card matching the Joker's rank. Whichever side that happens to be — Andar or Bahar — wins the round. You bet before dealing starts on which side you think will match first.
