What is Tongits?
Tongits is a traditional Filipino card game that combines strategy, skill, and betting mechanics. Played with a standard 52-card deck, this multiplayer game challenges players to form sets (three or four of a kind) and runs (three or more consecutive cards of the same suit) while managing their hand strategically.
The game typically supports 3-4 players, with each participant dealt 12 cards (or 13 for the dealer). Players take turns drawing from the deck or the discard pile, then discarding to maintain their card count. The goal is to "Tongits" (declare victory) by forming valid combinations or by having the lowest point value when someone calls "Draw" (end game).
