Mandi rulebook

Joint family

Two families compete for a shared collection.

1

Four merchants, two families

Use exactly four merchants. Seats 1 and 3 are Family 1; seats 2 and 4 are Family 2. Add computer merchants if needed.

2

Individual choices

Each merchant keeps their own Haggle hand, burned cards, and once-per-game Sifarish. Paid Haggle Restock uses only that merchant’s own Mithai; teammates cannot pay for each other. Mithai are pooled only for final scoring. Choose secretly as usual; even teammates at the same stall resolve the usual contest.

3

Shared scoring

At the end, pool each family’s lots and Mithai before calculating sets, majority and Thali. Score the two families, not four individuals. Tiebreak by pooled Mithai, then actual crates.
