What the Tongits Fight Format Covers
Tongits Fight starts with a standard 52-card deck dealt three ways — 12 cards each to two players and the remaining stack as the draw pile. On each turn you draw one card and discard one, building melds of three or more cards in a set or sequence. The fight mechanic lets either player call a challenge at any point, forcing both
hands into an immediate comparison. The player with the lower total deadwood count wins that round. Sequential melds score lower than unmatched high cards, so keeping your hand tight is the core skill. Available to eligible players where local law permits.
