> There are many other rules. the first dropped card will be heigher above the same card
Thanks for the detailed description Murthy garu. I procrastinated and you beat me to it!
(I'm glad you did it first. I realized that I didn't remember all of them.)
Your comment on other rules in different places reminded me of the variations. I've seen
this game played (acutally played too) in several villages and no two had exactly the same
rules, although the essence of the game remains the same. The minor variations were
causes for heated arguments too!
I just wanted to add a few notes to your post. Of course, these could simply be West
Godavari (that too West of Eluru canal, so called, upland area or రెడ్డిసీమ) variations!
A four player game is usually played with two decks and each addition of two players add
one more deck. The value of points for the oppostition to win the game will be 47 for each
deck used (94, 141, etc.).
To reduce the cost of buying more decks of cards, it is common to use cards 3 to 8 as
substitutes for regular ones. The designations for them are: Jack for 8, 9 for 7, Ace for 6,
King for 5, Queen for 4, and 10 for 3. This designation may sound awkward but this
follows the trump suit value order.
Unlike in other card games like Rummy, Bridge, etc., the cards are distributed 6 at a time
to each player. Again this may be another variation but we distribute the cards
anticlockwise in అడ్డాట.
The names of cards 9 and 10 are మణేల and త్రీంచా, respectively. I don't know the
origin of the names or if this nomenclature is universal. Here is the full Telugu version of
the names of cards: జాకీ, మణేల, ఆసు, రాజు, మదాం, త్రీంచా.
Since we always played with a minimum of two decks, if no one calls ఆట after the
distribution of the first six cards each, they all drop the cards and the second set of 6
cards each are distributed. If the second distribution also fails a declaration of ఆట,
then the entire set is reshuffled and distribution starts again. If the second distribution
resulted in the declaration of an ఆట, then the dropped cards are reshuffled and
distributed. In any case, the ఆట is declared only with six cards in hand and the second
set of six cards are distributed after the తురుపు is known.
One other way of declaring the తురుపు is by dropping జాకీలు. Instead of saying
ఆట, one may decide to drop two or more Jacks of different suits. This supercedes
anyone who says ఆట. The idea is that the person dropping the Jacks will declare the
trumph from the suits of the dropped Jacks after the second set of six cards are dealt and
the పట్లు for that game will a product of the declaring hand times the total number of
Jacks dropped. After the Jacks are dropped, only a higher hand can drop another Jack if
there is room for a different suit Jack and that person is the only one who can declare the
trumph from the dropped suits. After the declarer picks up the Jack of the declared suit,
others who dropped the Jacks pick up the leftover Jacks (first they have to pick their own if
it is there).
In the version we played, there are అడ్డు, పై అడ్డు, షరతు, పై షరతు, కోటు for
challenges on ఆట. Each challenge doubles the పట్లు with the exception of కోటు,
which not only clears any బాకీ of పట్లు but also wins the slam. Also, కోటు
requires that the team of the person saying కోటు has to collect all the పట్లు, not just
the person alone.
I'm sure there are many more version of this అడ్డాట.
This is an incredibly addicting game. The fun part of it is that there is little room for
betting but the passions run so high to make you glued to the వీధి అరుగు forever! If
anyone remembers, there is a cartoon by బాపు in నండూరి రామమొహనరావు గారి
"విశ్వరూపం" about అడ్డాట. To illustrate the tendency of elements to attract
electrons to complete their outer shell (thereby mimicing the electronic structure of intert
gases for stability), బాపు drew a cartoon with three guys sitting at a table and ask the
passerby "రా గురూ అడ్డాటేసుకుందాం!". I don't know how else we would have spent
the six months of college closure during the Andhra agitation in 1973-74!
