Tongits

Essential Viewing Before Play

Tongits is a card game designed for three players, belonging to the Rummy family. The main goal is to either clear your hand by forming valid sets (melds) or minimize your total score if a fight is called or when the central draw pile is depleted. Players start with 12 cards each, except for the dealer, who gets 13. The remaining cards are placed in the center as a draw pile. The game kicks off when the dealer discards a card, and the next player has the option to pick up that card if it forms a valid set or enhances a set they already have. Otherwise, they can draw from the central pile. Players continue drawing and discarding until someone wins by either completing all their cards in valid combinations (known as Tongits), calling a fight, or when the draw pile runs out of cards. When the pile is empty, players calculate the value of the remaining cards in their hands, and the player with the lowest score wins. To call a fight, a player must lay down a valid meld, and no one can discard on existing melds for that round. A player wins by Tongits when they successfully use all their cards by merging them with the exposed sets or the sets of other players.
