Four Stages of an Andar Bahar Round
- Find the reference rank: The exposed opening card sets the rank that later cards must match. It may be called the middle card or Joker.
- Read the selection window: Before dealing continues, the available choices concern which side will receive a matching rank first. Confirm the payout conditions for each side.
- Follow the alternating piles: New cards are placed one at a time on the two sides in the order specified by the table.
- Identify the matching card: The first qualifying match decides the winning side. Past deals do not establish which pile will receive that match in another round.
