What is Tongits?

Tongits is a classic Filipino 3-player card game that has captured the hearts of card game enthusiasts across the Philippines. Played with a standard 52-card deck, this exciting game combines strategy, skill, and a bit of luck as players compete to form valid card combinations and reduce their hand value.

The game's objective is simple yet challenging: be the first to empty your hand by forming sets (three or four of a kind) and runs (three or more consecutive cards of the same suit), or have the lowest point value when someone calls "Tongits" to end the round.

Tips & Strategies

Elevate your Tongits gameplay with these expert strategies used by top players in the Philippines.

Card Counting

Keep track of discarded cards to anticipate which cards opponents are collecting. This helps you decide whether to block their combinations or focus on your own.

Timing Your "Tongits" Call

Don't rush to call Tongits. Wait for the right moment when your opponents have high-value cards. A well-timed call can maximize your winnings.

Manage High-Value Cards

Prioritize getting rid of face cards (J, Q, K) and Aces early in the game. These cards carry 10 points each and can significantly increase your hand value if you're caught with them.

Observe Opponents' Patterns

Watch which suits and ranks opponents are collecting. If someone's close to completing a run, consider discarding cards from that suit to disrupt their strategy.
