Indian Poker Game Overview
Indian Poker, also known as Blind Man’s Bluff, is a popular card game that’s easy to learn and fun to play. In this game, each player holds a single card to their forehead, facing outwards. The other players can see everyone’s card except their own, and the objective is to guess which card is the highest.
Indian Poker is a great party game that’s perfect for breaking the ice or adding some excitement to your game night. The game is simple enough for beginners, but also strategic enough to keep experienced players engaged.
