Tongits is a 3-player card game played with a standard 52-card deck. The goal is to reduce the total point value of the cards remaining in your hand to as low as possible — ideally to zero. Here's how a game plays out at 678jili:
The dealer receives 13 cards; the other two players get 12 each. The remaining deck becomes the draw pile. Face cards (J, Q, K) count as 10 points each; Ace counts as 1; number cards count as face value.
On your turn, draw a card from the pile (or pick up the last discarded card if it completes a meld), form melds in your hand, and then discard one card face-up. Melds are valid sets of 3 or more cards — either a run of the same suit or a set of the same rank.
At any point on your turn, you can lay down completed melds face-up on the table. This reduces the total point value of the cards remaining in your hand — which matters a lot at end-game scoring.
If you discard your last card — going to zero remaining cards in hand — you call "Tongits" and win the round automatically. This is the most powerful winning condition in the game.
Any player who has laid down at least one meld can call a "fight" — stopping the game and comparing the total point value of everyone's remaining hand. Lowest remaining score wins. The draw pile running out also triggers a fight comparison.
You can "sapaw" — add cards onto your opponents' laid-down melds to burn those cards from your hand. Strategic sapaw play is one of the key skill elements that separates good Tongits players from great ones.
| Card | Point Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 🂡 Ace | 1 point | Lowest value — keep if possible |
| 🂢 2 through 9 | Face value | 2 = 2 pts, 9 = 9 pts, etc. |
| 🂪 10 | 10 points | High value — discard or meld early |
| 🂫 Jack (J) | 10 points | Face card — same as 10 |
| 🂭 Queen (Q) | 10 points | Face card — same as 10 |
| 🂮 King (K) | 10 points | Highest value card in the deck |

Claim BonusKnowing the rules is just the beginning. Consistent Tongits winners at 678jili understand the strategy layers underneath the game. Here's how to level up your play across early, mid, and late game phases.
Look at your 12 cards and identify existing pairs, near-melds, and isolated high-value cards (tens, face cards). The first 3 turns at 678jili Tongits tables typically reveal whether you have a fast-Tongits hand or a defensive grind-it-out hand.
If you're holding a King, Queen, or Jack with no partner or sequence path, discard them in the opening turns. Keeping isolated 10-point cards is the single biggest mistake casual players make at Tongits — it inflates your hand score if a fight is called.
Laying down melds in the first few turns exposes your hand structure to opponents. On 678jili, experienced players will use your early laid melds to sapaw strategic cards onto your table, burning their own problem cards at your expense.
Mid-game is when most melds hit the table. At 678jili, the right time to lay down is when it meaningfully reduces your hand's point total AND when the opponent who benefits most from sapaw has already shown their hand structure.
The discard pile tells you which cards are no longer available for sequences or sets. If you see two Kings discarded, you know nobody can make a set of Kings — freeing you to discard your own King without fear.
If an opponent has laid down multiple melds, they may be preparing to call a fight. At 678jili, this is when you need to accelerate your own meld placement and discard remaining high-value cards to minimize your losing score.
If your remaining hand score is low and an opponent's discards suggest they're holding high cards, calling the fight at 678jili is the right move — don't wait for Tongits. A win with 4 remaining points is still a win.
When the draw pile is running low, sapaw becomes critical. Use sapaw to burn high-value cards from your hand onto opponents' laid melds. Missing this opportunity late in the game is often the difference between winning and losing the fight.
If you're one or two cards away from Tongits with few cards in hand, play aggressively for the automatic win rather than settling for a fight. A Tongits victory at 678jili awards the full pot regardless of opponents' scores.
