Tongits is a three-player card game that originated in the Philippines and has been a staple of Filipino social gatherings for decades.

Tongits is played by exactly 3 players. At jullyph, you're matched with two real opponents from the Philippines.
A standard 52-card deck is used. The dealer gets 13 cards; the other two players get 12 cards each.
Form valid melds (sets of 3+ same-rank cards or sequences of 3+ same-suit cards) and empty your hand, or hold the lowest point total.
Win by going "Tongits" (emptying your hand), calling a "Draw" when you have the lowest points, or having the lowest score when the deck runs out.
Play smarter, win more often at jullyph.
Face cards (Jack, Queen, King) carry 10 points each. Get rid of them early by forming melds or discarding them before your opponents can use them against you in a Draw call.
Pay close attention to the discard pile. If an opponent keeps discarding cards of a certain suit, they're likely building a sequence in another suit – adjust your strategy accordingly.
Calling a Draw too early can backfire if your opponents have lower point totals. Make sure you have a genuinely low hand before challenging – especially in higher-stakes jullyph tables.
Sapaw (laying off cards on an opponent's meld) is a powerful move that reduces your hand points. Use it strategically to lower your score without revealing your full hand strength.
At jullyph, tables range from low-stakes casual games to high-roller rooms. Start at a stake level you're comfortable with and move up as your confidence and skill grow.
