Mendicot: Mindi Coat Card Game

Mendicot (say "men-dee-coat") is a classic Indian card game for four players in two teams. Many players know it as Mindi, Mindi Coat or Mendikot. It is similar to Dehla Pakad from North India. Your goal: win the four tens (mendis) for your team. Take all four and you score a mendicot!
