About this game
Guandan is the pairs game that swept China from Jiangsu dinner tables to national tournaments, and this version brings the full ritual to your screen: four seats, two decks of 108 cards, you and your partner across the table against two rivals. The level card rises each round your team wins, and the heart copy of it becomes a wild that slides into straights, triple pairs and full houses but never into bombs. The bomb ladder is pure Guandan: four-card bombs give way to flush straights, then five, six, seven and eight-card bombs, capped by the four-joker rocket. Win the race to go out and your team climbs levels from 2 toward A, with double downs jumping three levels at once; losers pay tribute with their biggest single card and winners return one back. A partner AI that understands feeding and blocking, hint cycling, and a landscape table that fits any phone or desktop. Free, no download, and one more round is always one tap away.
How to play
Tap cards to select them, then press Play to beat the table or Pass. The Hint button cycles legal combos, including wild substitutions. Win rounds to raise your team level from 2 to A.
Tips & Tricks
- Partner leads low and expects you to hold back: do not beat your own partner unless you can finish the hand.
- Save bombs for the end game; a well-timed bomb on a rival who is nearly out is worth three levels of tempo.
- The heart level card is your wild: hoard it for a missing straight link or a full-house wing.
- As tribute payer, remember your biggest natural single leaves you, so plan around losing it.
Frequently asked questions
How does the level card work?
Each team starts at level 2. Winning a round as head player raises your level by one, two or three depending on where your partner finishes, and the level card of the leading team becomes the trump-shaped rank for the next round.
What can the wild substitute?
The heart of the current level card substitutes any natural card in straights, triple pairs, steel plates and full houses. It can never join a bomb, a flush straight or the joker rocket, and it cannot be paid as tribute.
How do you win the whole match?
Reach level A and win a round as head player with your partner not finishing last. That passes A and takes the match.
