Kenu will be different for players and same for some. For 9, numbers 80-90 are applicable.
There could be various ways in which kenu can be used.
Ignore: Ignore the numbers starting with the Kenu. Each player will ignore all the numbers starting with this Kenu. In this card, 12 and 18 can be ignored.
Strike: When a number is announced and it happens to be a Kenu for a player then he can strike all the numbers starting with this Kenu number as well along with Kenu. Here, 12 and 18 can be striked as well along with 1. Further, either of the 2 rules can be applier here. A general rules is that player can claim a winning whatever he is winning now after striking the kenu and related numbers. In another rules can numbers can only be striked but prize cannot be claimed. E.g. when 1 is announced 12 and 18 can be striked and if player is winning something lets say he is winning on row 2 completing with 12 then he may not claim a prize at this time but when actual 12 is called then he can claim. Recommended rule is that if player is winning a house then he should not claim a win at this time but when either 12 or 18 i.e. any of these is called.
To give an example in detail, let us say:
1st case: if only 1, 12 and 18 are left. If 1 is called, player can strike 1, 12 and 18 i.e. all three. But now cannot claim the full house. As soon as 12 or 18 is called at any time then he can claim full house. He need not wait for both 12 and 18 to be called, any one number will do.
Case 2: If 1, 12 and 24 are left and 1 is called out, then player can strike 1 and 12 both. And as soon as when 24 is called he can claim full house as 12 is already striked out.
Taking case 3: say 1, 12, 18 and 24 are left. If 1 is called, player can strike 1, 12 and 18. Then when 24 is called, then he can strike out 24 and claim a house at this time as 12 and 18 have been striked out already.
The rule is simple, you can considered the numbers as striked but cannot claim at that moment but later.

These 4 points can be earned by only striking 4 Good Numbers or 5 Good Numbers and 1 Bad Number. Similarly, other dividends can be kept. Basic concept is points have to be collected based on Good and Bad Numbers. Mines plays the role in this format of kukuba. Here, mines are present in A3, B1 etc. Mines will be different for different cards.
There could be various ways in which Mines can be used.
Ignore: Ignore the blank cells.
Strike: When a number is announced and it happens to be a Mine then 1 point has to be subtracted from total points. If it is a Good Number then 1 point has to be added. Recommended mines in a card is 6. One can have more or less mines also as per the game requirement.

Kukuba Mix is an ultimate entertainer with totally new concept. It divides ticket into 3 sections (generally) and can be more (upto 9) or less depending on organisor. Kukuba Classic can be said as a subset of this game with 1 section. This format is related to theme where cards are divided into sections depending on theme requirement. In this, instead of rows we go about columns. For Kukuba Mix 29-30-31 i.e. Kukuba Mix with 3 sections card is divided into 3 sections 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Section 1 is 1st three columns of card, section 2 is column 4 to column 6 and section 3 is column 7 to column 9. Now, each of these sections have names based on different categories. Like for a kid birthday theme, 3 sections could be 1:What birthday kid eat (around 30 items), 2: Names of cartoon characters (around 30 names), 3:Names of guest (around 30 names). Like we play 1st, 2nd and 3rd row, here we play 1st section (eatables), 2nd section (cartoon), 3rd category (guests). On completion of each section, player shouts the name of section like eatble, cartoon or guest.
Kukuba Mix with 3 sections is known as Kukuba Mix 29-30-31 as section 1 has 29 numbers from 1-29 numbers, section 2 has 30 numbers from 30-59 and section 3 has 31 numbers from 60-90. One thing to note here is that while each row have 5 numbers, each section may not have 5 numbers. It will have atleast 3 numbers. And this makes it interesting as in Classic format we wait for that 1 last number which always remain in each row, the 5th number.
There could be various ways to play this
having 3 sections as columns only
having both sections and rows
having 9 sections i.e. 1 column for each section. Each column will have a different set of names
It is played based on mobile number of player. Player has to write his/her mobile number on space provided on card.

In classic Tambola, one number is called at a time. In multi tambola, multiple numbers are called at a time as a group. Group can have 2 or 3 numbers generally. Group is given a name like a word, song etc. That word, song is called along with the numbers in that group.
This makes game moves faster. Multi prizes for a group may happen.
Similar to designer tambola with some twists. Group names which remain same in designer tambola (acts as prize) are random in this format.
E.g. In designer tambola there are say 4 groups on each card having 4 numbers each. Group Names are A, B, C, D. In multi prize, there would be 4 Groups on a card but their name would be randomly taken from more than 4 names say 8 names A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H. Four group names will be taken A, C, H, F from these 8 names and assigned to group names on a card. In this some player will won prize for completing group A, some group B upto group G. So, it makes total prizes for groups equal to 8 instead of 4 in designer tambola.
Another twist is in winning Full House. Say Card 1 has groups A, B, C, D. Card 2 has groups C, D, E, F, and Card 3 has groups E, F, G, H. Group C, D have been completed and won by Card 1. Group E, F has been completed and won by Card 3. But Card 2 has not won these groups yet but it has been announced that Groups C, D, E, F have been completed so Card 2 can announce a Magical House Win as group names mentioned on his/her card have been won.

In this case, from 2nd alphabet onwards the word can be formed as HENRY where next alphabets are E,N,R,S,Y. Alphabet S has already been used while word search, so not including the alphabet S. Word formed is HENRY.

If a group gets completed for a participant then all numbers of the claiming participant are matched with corresponding section/group of host card. If no (0) number of participant card matches with host card then no prize and game continues with the group is still available as dividend. If 1 number of participant card matches with host card then prize amount is 1 time. If 2 number of participant card matches with host card then prize amount is 2 time and so on.
Numbers are divided in sections across grid. Sometimes sections are given names based on theme.

Such a concept is used when game has to be played for long as number of total cues is more.

If a player is winning a particular group dividend then Code present for this particular group may be present on other cards as well. In such a case, all such players having this code on their cards get equal distribution of prize amount. In case same player has this code more than once then her share is same number of times the code is present.
