Players: Typically 3 players per game at JLCC casino

Deck: Standard 52-card deck

Card Values: Face cards (J, Q, K) = 10 points, Ace = 1 point, numbered cards = face value

Gameplay Mechanics

  2. Draw and Discard: On your turn, draw from the deck or pickup from the discard pile, then discard one card
  3. Melding: Form sets (three or four of a kind) or runs (three or more consecutive cards of the same suit)
  4. Fighting: Challenge opponents who haven't melded by calling "Tongits" when you believe your hand is superior
