1. Setup: Each player receives 12 cards (13 cards for the dealer). The remaining cards form the draw pile, with one card placed face-up to start the discard pile.
2. Objective: Form valid sets (three or four cards of the same rank) or runs (three or more consecutive cards of the same suit) to reduce your hand's point value.
3. Gameplay: On your turn, draw one card from either the draw pile or discard pile, then discard one card to end your turn.
4. Calling Tongits: If your hand contains only valid sets and runs with no unmatched cards, you can call "Tongits" to win the round immediately.
5. Fighting: If an opponent calls Tongits, you can challenge by revealing your own hand. The player with the lower point value wins.
6. Draw: If no one calls Tongits and the draw pile is exhausted, the round ends in a draw. Players compare hands, and the one with the lowest points wins.
7. Scoring: Face cards (J, Q, K) count as 10 points, Aces as 1 point, and number cards as their face value. The goal is to minimize your total points.
