Indian Poker

Each player receives exactly one card, which they hold face-out against their own forehead (or otherwise visible to every other player) without looking at it themselves. Every player can see everyone else's card, but not their own.

Betting: A standard round of betting follows (check, bet, call, raise, fold), same structure as a simple one-street poker hand. Since no one can see their own card, betting decisions are based entirely on the strength of the other visible cards at the table and on reading opponents' behavior as they react to what they can see of your card and others'.

Showdown: remaining players reveal their cards (by simply looking at them or taking them down); the highest single card wins the pot (aces high, suits usually irrelevant unless the table agrees on a suit-based tiebreak).

Strategy notes: Because you can never know your own hand strength directly, Indian Poker is much more about reading table dynamics and opponents' confidence than any other dealer's-choice game — it's often played as a lighthearted, low-stakes palate cleanser between more serious hands rather than for serious money.
