About this game
San Zhang (Three-Card Brag) is the compare game every Chinese card player grew up with, rebuilt here as a clean no-betting showdown: you and two computer rivals, each with a chip stack, three face-down cards a hand. Peek at your cards and open the showdown, or stay blind and win double from every loser — nerve is the whole game. The ladder runs triplet, suited run, flush, run, pair and high card, with the legendary off-suit 2-3-5 as a magic hand that kills any triplet. Bust both rivals to win the night; go broke and the table turns on you. Fast hands, crisp card art and a landscape table for phone and desktop. Free, no download, and one more deal is always one tap away.
How to play
Each hand everyone antes 30. Tap your cards to peek, then press Showdown — or press Stay Blind to open without looking and win double from each loser. Highest hand takes the pot.
Tips & Tricks
- Blind opens are +EV when your stack is healthy: double payout beats the tiny odds disadvantage.
- A pair of aces loses to a low triplet — never assume, always respect the chart.
- When one rival is nearly broke, targeting their last chips ends the night faster.
- Streaks matter: every blind win snowballs the pot you take from the table.

Triplet beats suited run, which beats flush, then run, pair and high card. The off-suit 2-3-5 is a magic hand that beats any triplet but loses to everything above it.
How does the blind open work?
Opening without peeking wins you the pot plus an extra 30 from each losing rival. If you lose, you simply lose your ante like normal.

Take every chip from both rivals. If your own stack hits zero first, the night is over — your best chip total is saved on your device.
