About this game
Run Fast (Paodekuai) is the shedding race that fills card rooms across China, and this version keeps it pure: three seats, fifteen cards each, no bidding and no landlord, just a flat-out sprint to empty your hand. The full combo set is here: singles, pairs, trios, full houses, five-card straights, triple pairs, planes with wings, four-card bombs that double the stake, and the joker pair as the ultimate bomb. Beat whatever is on the table or pass; when both rivals pass, the table clears and you lead anything you like. The smarter you shed, the more your rivals are left holding: winners score from every card the losers still carry, multiplied by every bomb played. A hint button cycles through every legal play, cards fan out to fit any screen, and the whole match runs against two computer rivals in a couple of minutes. landscape table, phone or desktop, no download, free forever.

Winners collect 100 points plus eight points for every card the two losers still hold, and the whole pot is doubled by each bomb played during the round.
Is there a landlord or bidding?
No. Run Fast has no landlord: all three players are equals racing to shed first, which makes rounds faster than Dou Dizhu.
Can straights include 2s or jokers?
No. Straights and triple pairs run from 3 up to A only. 2 ranks above A, and the joker pair is a bomb on its own.
