Played by three players using a standard 52-card deck without jokers.
The GameZone Tongits game follows specific rules for drawing,

Quick Answer
Tongits Plus is a three-player card game played with 52 cards without jokers. Players draw cards, form valid melds, and discard cards during their turns. A round can end when a player declares Tongits, initiates a fight, or when the central stack runs out. The game’s card points, melds, bonuses, and other applicable conditions determine the final result.
How Do You Play Tongits Plus?
Tongits Plus begins with three players and a standard 52-card deck without jokers.
Each player receives 12 cards, while the dealer receives 13 cards.
And the remaining cards are placed in the center to form the central stack.
The dealer starts the game by discarding a card.
This begins the draw-and-discard cycle that continues throughout the round.
What Melds Can You Make in Tongits Plus?
The main melds used in Tongits Plus include:
| Meld | Requirement |
| Three-of-a-kind | At least three cards of the same rank |
| Straight Flush | At least three sequential cards of the same suit |
In addition to these basic melds, Tongits Plus also includes special and secret meld mechanics.
A four of a kind consists of four cards with the same rank.
A special straight flush consists of five or more sequential cards of the same suit.
A qualifying special secret meld can provide an additional scoring benefit under the game’s rules.
How Can a Player Win Tongits Plus?
Winning by Tongits
A player can declare Tongits when their remaining card points reach zero.
Winning Through a Fight
A fight is another way to end a round.
To initiate one, a player must have a meld on the table and meet the applicable conditions,
Including the rule concerning whether an opponent has discarded a card onto that meld during the round.
When a fight is called, the other players are evaluated according to the game’s conditions.
When the Central Stack Runs Out
The round can also end when the central stack has no cards remaining.
A player who has no exposed or qualifying secret meld can be considered burned and automatically lose under this condition.
Among the applicable players, the one with the lowest total card points wins.
How Are Card Points and Bonuses Calculated?
| Card | Point Value |
| A | 1 |
| 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 | Same points with their rank |
| J, Q, K | 10 |
On the other hand, Aces and Kings are also considered bonus cards.
How Does Tongits Plus Scoring Work?
Tongits Plus assigns different scores to various results and actions:
| Outcome or Action | Score |
| Normal win | +1 |
| Tongits | +2 |
| Special melds | +1 |
| Bonus card | +1 |
| Burned | -1 |
| Challenge | +2 |
| Fold | -1 |
The applicable score is multiplied by the ante to determine the corresponding gain or loss.
Not every scoring condition is triggered at the same time.
For example, certain outcomes such as Tongits and Challenge do not apply simultaneously.
The game’s specific conditions determine which result and related score apply to a completed round.
Understanding these scoring rules is also an important part of a basic Tongits Plus strategy.
