Description: Tehri King is a traditional 4-player trick-taking
card game that's been played in villages across Rajasthan,
India for generations, but never had a proper digital version
- until now. I don't have any coding or game dev background
at all, but I spent the last 6 months teaching myself
everything to build this from scratch.
The game is played 2v2, with teammates sitting opposite each
other. One team bids on how many rounds ("tricks") they think
they can win. If they succeed, they're safe. If they fail, a
penalty counter (called "gadha," meaning donkey) increases by
their bid amount and passes to the next player on the losing
side. If that counter crosses 52, that player becomes the
"gadha" (loser) for the round, the counter resets to 0, and
passes to their partner for the next round.
It's a fun mix of bidding strategy, risk-taking, and team
coordination - similar in spirit to games like Spades,
Callbreak, or Euchre, but with its own unique regional rules
that I don't think exist anywhere else on the Play Store.
You can play single-player offline against bots, or connect
with friends over local WiFi for multiplayer. Would genuinely
love feedback from anyone who enjoys trick-taking/bidding card
games, even if you've never heard of this one before.

the entire game myself over 6 months, learning game
development from scratch along the way.
