Tremendous Development in the Gaming Industry

The gaming industry has evolved to attract users from all age groups .The industry is no longer restricted to specific group of people and thus, gaming industry has changed drastically. What remained as heterodoxy a few decades ago has now become an essential part of the mainstream. Indian gaming industry has developed from 25 companies in early 2000s to more than 250 companies now, though mostly startups but young with potency to create yet another Candy Crush or Angry Birds

The year witnessed the launch of many gaming apps harnessing multitudes of downloads. From Asphalt 8, Minions Paradise, Real Racing 3, Ski Safari 2 to Stupid Zombies 3, a varied range of gaming apps was launched and received appreciation. But one aspect that yet remains to be considered about Indian gaming industry is that the Indian markets have seen a digital boom in the past few years and the country is warming up to paying online. The country is yet reluctant to pay for mobile games and so, a ‘Freemium model’ for gaming industry is the most apt at least for the upcoming year.

While the free-to-play-gaming-revolution is at its peak, developers need to consider how their games are played as well as viewed. Watching games is on a rise at YouTube and Twitch.Tv and this trend needs to be exploited by the developers. It is about providing a spectator experience that has begun to matter.

As Virtual Reality (VR) is taking over without stopping, virtual card games are also getting quite popular in India. Ultimate Teen Patti, a game of flash by Play Games 24x7, has become the highest grossing game in the Casino category on the Google Play Store (India) and the number 4 grossing Android app in India. Ultimate Teen Patti offers a slick gameplay and fuddy-duddy graphics which have been revamped to revive the traditional card game court in session. Solitaire and Indian Rummy are other games that are doing the rounds.

India is expected to host one of the largest mobile game markets in the forthcoming years. Though the ecosystem is yet to be made more conducive for Indian gamers, a huge opportunity nevertheless lies in the country. A spectacular gaming war is awaiting the Indian gaming market and the future is yet to arrive.

The game is played till a team finally accumulates 500 points.

Solitaire is the most unique of all card games since you can play it alone too. It is a puzzle like game and several software variants have emerged now but the basic rules remain same. This game is won by arranging the cards in sequence with Black and Red cards alternated to each other. The four different suits don’t hold significance, what matters is the color. Several versions of this game are found in different demographics including UK and China.

Spite and Malice is a Solitaire like card game, it can be played by two to four players. This game is played with three decks of playing cards while the Jokers are optional.

Initially every player is dealt with 26 cards known as goal pile. Person you first moves all the cards from goal pile to playing piles wins the game.

7. Hearts:

Hearts is another popular trick taking game just like spades and Bridge. The game is best played by four players with a regular deck of 52 cards. All 52 cards are first distributed amongst the four players. All heart cards carry one point and Queen of spade carries 13 points. The goal here is to earn least number of points. The game is played numerous times till one person reaches a total of 100 points. At that time, player with least points wins the game. Lastly, if a player obtains all 26 points then the other three players are added with 26 points each.

When your turn comes around you either pick a card off the unused card piles or from the last card played. Then the player discards one card maintaining the set of 10 cards.

Clash Royale-An Android Game

Clash Royale, a follow up to the hugely popular Clash Of Clans, was launched in March for Android and iOS users by Supercell. If you are a novice, chances are you might be feeling a bit confused by your lack of wins and difficulty in understanding the game's strategy. Do not worry; we have some handy tips for beginners and as you keep playing you will master the game slowly and steadily.Clash Royale is sort of like a combination of a competitive RTS with tower defense. Each player has three towers: one king tower and two smaller towers on either side. You have a deck of cards stacked with different units and spells, all of which require elixir to activate. The more elixir, the more powerful the card. Elixir fills slowly throughout the match, and you deploy your units in an effort to outfox your opponent and destroy his or her towers.Clash Royale is two players head to head, battling it out. There’s an unpredictability that comes with a human opponent that can’t be beat. From there, it’s a classic rock/paper/scissors concept of a small-scale RTS. Some units are better against towers, some against enemy units, some better in concert and some worth twice their weight in elixir if deployed at the right time.
It’s a smart game, and it’s a tough game: there’s the real sense that the right strategy can topple any player, and there’s satisfaction even in being outsmarted by a talented opponent. It’s worth a play for anyone who likes tactics and strategy, and it’s fun to get such deep game play on the small screen.
Clash Royale (as of this writing) features a few dozen cards of which players select eight unique cards to build a deck. Initially, this seems a little too basic- particularly if you're a veteran of other card games. Once you let it settle in, it's actually pretty awesome, as with only eight cards to work with, it becomes immediately transparent which cards are and aren't working in your deck. Additionally, with a card pool measured in the dozens combined with cleverly tiered unlocking of available cards, you quickly learn what everything in the game does without the encyclopedic knowledge required to know every single card in a typical CCG.
The RTS and MOBA elements have also been greatly simplified. In both genres, success comes from not just by how intelligently you utilize your units, but how quickly and accurately you're able to control them. In the world of popular RTS games like StarCraft, top-tier players are issuing hundreds of commands a minute to their army. Similarly, the split-second decision making you see in top-tier MOBA play is incredible. Clash Royale simplifies and slows all of that down just enough that it's easy to play, while still invoking a feeling that your decisions matter just as much as the ones you might make in an RTS or MOBA.
