How to play Jhabbu

The player with the Ace of Spades leads. Everyone must follow the led suit if they can. When all cards follow, the pile clears; but if someone cannot follow and throws an off-suit Thulla, the highest led-suit card picks up the whole pile. Empty your hand to get away.

What is a Thulla?

A Thulla is an off-suit card played when you cannot follow the led suit. Instead of clearing, the player who laid the highest card of the originally led suit must pick up the entire pile. The Thulla is how the pile suddenly lands on someone.

How do players get away?

The moment your hand is empty you have got away and are safe for the round. Play continues until only one player is left holding cards — that player is the Bhabhi. Getting away early is the whole goal.
