HOW TO PLAY Tongits?

Game Tongits is a three-player knock rummy game, two players with 12 card hands and one player (also the dealer) with 13 card hands.

Players will add '2 bet' before each game.

The first dealer is chosen randomly. Thereafter the dealer is the winner of the previous hand.

The dealer starts dealing in a counterclockwise direction.

The next player may CHOW the card or PICK from discard pile.You may only take a card from the discard pile if you are able to create a meld (a set or run) with it, and you are then obliged to expose the meld.

HOW TO WIN A GAME?

There are 3 ways of winning the game:

Tongits

The player is able to use all of his or her cards in combinations, by connecting to opponents’ exposed card sets, or if the player gets rid of all his cards, then the player wins by Tongits.

Win by Deck runs out

If the Deck Runs Out of cards and no one has initiated a Draw or won by Tongits, the player who has least amount of points in there hands wins the game.

*** NOTE: If you have melds in your hand when someone calls a Draw, the melds do not count toward the points in your hand- only unmelded cards. 

Win by Draw

If you think you have fewer points in your hands than any of your opponents, you can call a Draw. This is a direct challenge of the opponents and will end the game whether you win or lose the draw.If another palyer initiates a draw, when it’s your turn, the options are FOLD or FIGHT .

HOW TO WIN THE JACKPOT?

If you win 2 games continuosly, you'll win the Jackpot

NOTE:

When you cannot Draw:

Untill you have played at least one meld on the table

If other players have connected cards to your MELD since your last run, you must wait one complete rotation before you can call Draw.

If a player calls Draw and has a higher count than the other two players who have a lower count and are tied, the player to the right of the player that called DRAW wins regardless of the ROTATION of the CARDS.

If you have not melded on your last turn and opponents have not connected to your meld(s). if your meld 4 or more cards on your last turn, you can CHALLENGE (but can not DRAW)
