About this game
Dou Dizhu goes heads-up: two seats, twenty-five cards each and a four-card kitty waiting for whoever dares to bid landlord. Call one, two or three to claim the extra cards and the first move, or stay farmer and try to tear down the landlord with nothing but your original hand. Every classic combo is in play: singles, pairs, trios with single or pair wings, straights, pair runs, planes, four-card bombs and the joker rocket, with bombs and rockets doubling the stake as they land. With only two seats the table clears after a single pass, so every lead matters and tempo is everything. Spring and anti-spring bonuses reward total domination, and a smart rival counts your cards and refuses to feed your winning tile. One tap to deal, a hint button that cycles legal plays, cards that fit any screen width, and matches that settle in about two minutes. landscape, free, no download, phone or desktop.
How to play
During bidding press 1, 2, 3 or Pass. In play, tap cards to select them and press Play to beat the table, or Pass when you cannot. The Hint button cycles through legal combos.
Tips & Tricks
- As landlord you hold twenty-nine cards: lead with long combos while the kitty is still a mystery to your rival.
- As farmer, deny singles above A when the landlord is down to one or two cards.
- Count the bombs: with only one rival, every bomb you play doubles your own pot.
- One pass clears the table, so passing is often stronger than beating with a big card.
Frequently asked questions
How many cards does each side hold?
Each player is dealt 25 cards and 4 remain as the kitty. The landlord takes the kitty for 29 cards against the 25 of the farmer.
What happens if both players pass the bid?
The deal is thrown in and cards are re-dealt automatically, so every game has a landlord.
How do springs work with two players?
If the landlord wins while the farmer never played a single combo, it is a spring and the stake doubles. If the farmer wins while the landlord only led once, it is an anti-spring.
