Mindi (also known as Mendicot, Mendi Coat, or Dehla Pakad) is a traditional Indian 4-player trick-taking partnership card game. Two teams of two players sit opposite each other and compete across 26 tricks using a 104-card double deck to capture the crucial tens ('Dahlas').

In the standard 'First Void Calls' (Katte / Hukum) ruleset, the game begins with no pre-assigned trump. The first player who is void of the led suit declares 'Mindi!' and chooses the trump suit for that hand, which immediately shifts game control.

There are 8 tens in total across both standard 52-card decks. Each captured 10 awards 1 point. Capturing 5 or more tens (or 4 tens plus the decisive 26th trick decider point) wins the hand and avoids getting coated.

In Mindi scoring, winning all 8 Dahlas when you were the dealing team is a White Coat (Safed Coat), whereas winning all 8 Dahlas against the dealers is a Black Coat (Kala Coat / Kot), representing a total shutout victory.

Yes! Mindicot includes a fully featured offline mode powered by smart AI bots with 3 difficulty presets. You can play anywhere during flights, train travel, or in remote areas with zero mobile data usage.

Because Mindi is played with two identical 52-card decks (104 cards total), duplicate cards can land in the same trick. Under official tournament rules, tie priority goes strictly to the card played first chronologically.

You can create a private custom table with 1 tap, select your target number of hands (Best of 1, 3, or 5), and invite friends via WhatsApp, Telegram, or direct room code. Invited players join your exact table in under 2 seconds.

Yes, Mindicot is 100% free to download on Google Play Store and Apple App Store. There are no pay-to-win mechanics, all game modes and private rooms are free, and rules follow authentic Indian card traditions.
