How to Play Tongits
Tongits is played with three players using a standard 52-card deck. The objective is to have the lowest point count in your hand when another player calls "Tongits" or when the draw pile is exhausted.
Game Setup
Each player receives 12 cards initially. The remaining cards form the draw pile, with the top card placed face-up to start the discard pile. Players take turns clockwise throughout the game.
Gameplay Mechanics
Drawing: On your turn, draw one card from either the draw pile or the discard pile. This adds a card to your hand.
Melding: Create valid combinations (meld) with your cards, such as three or four of a kind, three-card straights of the same suit, or valid card combinations based on the game rules.
Discarding: End your turn by discarding one card face-up onto the discard pile.
Calling Tongits: When you believe you have the lowest possible point count, you may call "Tongits" to end the round. If correct, you win. If wrong, you suffer a penalty.

Prioritize Melds
Creating valid melds reduces your point count significantly. Focus on building melds early in the game.
