Card games in Pakistan
In Pakistan the standard 52 card pack is in general use. Popular games include:

10, 9 for the 
9, 1 for the 2, 1 for each ace and 4 for the majority of cards. Kings, queens and jacks have capture values of 13, 12 and 11, and builds are only allowed for a value of at least 9.
- Rang or Trumps - a whist-like plain-trick game for four players in fixed partnerships, in which a player chooses trumps on the basis of the first five cards dealt
- Double Sir or Double Trumps - an interesting variation of Trumps, in which tricks are only captured when the same player wins two tricks in succession.
- Rummy, also known as Kharr Wanj - I do not know which kind of Rummy this is - maybe similar to Indian Rummy.
- 2.5.3 is a trick-taking game similar of 3-5-8 but played with only 30 cards - a standard pack with all cards 2 to 6 and two of the 7's removed.
- Dummy is a plain trick game with bidding for three players. Each receives 13 cards and 13 are dealt to a dummy hand that belongs to the highest bidder.
