How Tong-its works (and this version's rules)
- Players & deal: 3 players, one 52-card deck. The dealer gets 13 cards, the other two get 12. The dealer opens (no draw on the first turn); everyone else draws first.
- Your turn: draw the top stock card or take the top discard (only if it immediately forms or extends a meld). Then lay melds / sapaw if you can, and finish by discarding one card.
- Melds: a set is 3–4 of the same rank; a run is 3+ in sequence, same suit. Ace is low only (A-2-3 is valid, Q-K-A is not).
- Sapaw: lay off a card onto any meld already on the table — yours or an opponent's.
- Tongits (instant win): empty your hand entirely.
- Call / Draw (tumba): if you've laid at least one meld, you may call instead of discarding. Lowest deadwood wins the showdown; ties go to the caller, but if someone has strictly less, they beat you.
- Stock runs out: the hand ends and the lowest deadwood wins.
- Burned: a player who never melded can't win the showdown.
- Deadwood points: Ace = 1, 2–10 = face value, J/Q/K = 10.
- Match: first player to 3 hand wins takes the tour.
