Basic Rules

• Objective: Have the lowest point total in your hand when the game ends, or be the first to declare "Tongits" when you have no points.
• Deck: Uses a standard 52-card deck.
• Players: 3 players typically, with one player serving as the "banker" or "dealer."
• Deal: Each player receives 12 cards, with the remaining cards placed face-down as the draw pile.

Gameplay Steps

1. Draw: At the start of each turn, draw one card from the pile or take the top card from the discard pile.
2. Form Melds: Arrange your cards into valid combinations (sets of 3 or 4 of a kind, or sequences of 3+ consecutive cards of the same suit).
3. Discard: End your turn by discarding one card face-up to the discard pile.
4. Declare Tongits: When you have zero points (all cards in valid melds), you can declare "Tongits" to win the round.

Beginner Tips

• Focus on Melds: Always try to form valid melds as quickly as possible to reduce your point total.
• Watch the Discard: Keep track of which cards have been discarded to avoid giving opponents what they need.
• Draw from Pile: When unsure, drawing from the pile is safer than taking the discard pile.
• Know When to Fold: If your hand has too many points, consider folding early to minimize losses.

Advanced Strategies

• Bluffing: Sometimes discard high cards you don't need to mislead opponents about your hand.
• Card Counting: Track which cards have been played to predict what opponents might hold.
