In today’s technological era there are few online options available wherein you can flex your mind muscles, get entertained, join a like-minded network, and also make some money 🙂 With summer sneaking in, many of us [including kids] prefer staying in-doors especially during the afternoon and that is the best time when family can relax with their kids!! Parents look for indoor games that not only provide wholesome entertainment, but also sharpen their kid’s thinking 🙂 One such game that falls in this category is the good old card game – Indian Rummy.
