Dive into the Classic Filipino Card Game: Tongits
Tongits is a beloved Filipino card game that combines strategy andskill, offering endless entertainment for players of all ages. Perfect for those who enjoy a mental challenge and social interaction, Tongits has now been brought to the digital world, allowing you to enjoy this classic game anytime, anywhere.
Game Overview
Tongits is traditionally a three-player game using a standard 52-card deck. The objective is to minimize the total value of your hand by forming and playing melds (sets and runs) and to win by either "Tongits" (emptying your hand), "draw" (having the lowest hand value when the draw pile is depleted), or by winning in a challenge when another player calls "draw."
How to Play
Setup: The game begins with each player receiving 12 cards, while the dealer gets 13 cards. The remaining cards form the draw pile.
Turns: Players take turns in a clockwise direction. On each turn, a player must draw a card from either the draw pile or the discard pile. They then check for possible melds (sets of three or four cards of the same rank, or runs of three or more consecutive cards of the same suit) and can lay them down if they choose. The turn ends with the player discarding a card.
Winning the Game: There are several ways to win in Tongits:
Tongits: If a player discards their last card, they win by "Tongits."
Draw: If the draw pile is exhausted, players compare their hands. The player with the lowest hand value wins.
Fight: If a player calls "draw," others can challenge by revealing their hands. The player with the lowest hand value wins the round.
Special Actions:
Burn: If a player cannot make a valid move, they "burn" and lose the round.
Challenging: Strategic challenging can turn the tide of the game, adding a layer of psychological gameplay.
Scoring System
Meld Points: Players earn points by laying down melds.
Hand Values: At the end of a round, unplayed cards in players' hands are tallied, and those points are scored.
Winning: Points are accumulated across rounds to determine the overall winner.
