Ed Gamble & Sarah Kendall's Guide to Solving Indian Games: Rules, Strategies & Common Pitfalls
Indian games like Kabaddi, Ludo, Rummy, and Carrom are beloved worldwide for their blend of skill, strategy, and cultural charm. But even seasoned players face challenges! Let’s break down key questions raised by players Ed Gamble and Sarah Kendall to master these games.
1. Kabaddi: How Do You Win?
Ed’s Question: “I keep losing Kabaddi matches. What’s the secret to winning?”
Answer:
Objective: Eliminate all opponents by capturing their “bodies” (marked with coins).
Key Rules:
A player shouts “Kabaddi” while running to tag an opponent.
If tagged, the opponent runs to their base to sit down; if they fail, they’re eliminated.
Strategy:
Defensive Play: Guard your base by rotating players.
Offensive Play: Use quick tag-and-sit combinations.
Team Coordination: Assign roles (e.g., one player focuses on tagging, another on defense).
Sarah’s Tip: “Watch opponents’ movements—slowest players often become targets!”
2. Ludo: Why Do My Pieces Keep Getting Stuck?
Ed’s Question: “My Ludo pieces always freeze on the board. Am I doing something wrong?”
Answer:
Rule Clarification:
Pieces can only move if the dice shows a number matching their current position (e.g., if a piece is on 3, only a 3 or 6 can move it).
A player must use all dice numbers in a turn. If one die is unused, the turn ends.
Common Mistakes:
Moving pieces randomly without planning sequences.
Forgetting to “block” opponents’ progress.

Pro Tip: “Save high-value dice rolls for moving critical pieces to the finish line!”
Sarah’s Strategy: “Block opponents by placing your pieces on their high-value squares.”
3. Rummy: How Do I Avoid “Going Out”?
Ed’s Question: “I always lose Rummy because I go out too early!”
Answer:
Going Out Rules:
You must discard two cards to “go out” (e.g., play a sequence or set).
If you can’t do this, you lose.
Key Tips:
Hold High-Value Cards: Avoid discarding numbers 3-9 unless necessary.
Track Opponent’s Discards: Use their discarded cards to predict your moves.
Sequence vs. Set: Sequences (consecutive numbers) are safer; sets (three cards with the same value) require matching suits.
Sarah’s Rule: “Never go out with a single card left in your hand!”
4. Carrom: Why Do My Strikers Keep Rolling Off?
Ed’s Question: “I’m always losing Carrom strikes. What’s the trick?”
Answer:
Basic Rules:
Strikers must hit the queen (central disk) to score points.
Use the backspin technique to control strikes.
Common Issues:
Incorrect Grip: Hold the striker with a firm grip—loose hands cause off-center hits.
Ignoring Opponent’s Strikers: Clear their pieces first to create space.
Sarah’s Technique: “Practice short, controlled strikes near the queen to build confidence.”
Final Tips from Ed & Sarah
