And ever since the internet boom, it has become easy to play India’s favourite card game with players all over the world. Many families spend quality time playing this game together. This game is so deeply rooted in Indian culture that it has become a part of popular festivals like Diwali and Holi.
Well, whichever origin may be true, there is no doubt that India adopted this game with open arms and made it into their own ‘Indian rummy’. Some believe it originated in Mexico and is a variant of the game called ‘Conquian’, while others believe it is a result of a Mahjong variant named Kun P’ai and was later changed into a game called ‘Khanhoo’ by the west. The origins of rummy are often a matter of debate.
