Jhala (game)

Jhala is a traditional Indian card game played with a standard deck, similar in style to rummy. The objective is to form valid combinations of cards—either sequences of consecutive cards of the same suit or sets of the same rank—and to be the first to meld all your cards. Players take turns drawing and discarding cards, strategizing to complete their combinations while preventing opponents from doing the same. The game emphasizes skillful hand management and strategic discarding, culminating in players declaring when they have successfully melded all their cards.
