Tongits

Tongits is a popular Filipino rummy card game. Originating in the northern Philippines, the game was brought to the United States in the mid-90's and was quickly adopted on college campuses. It offered a new alternative to long time favorites pusoy dos and spades.

Anyone familiar with other rummy games such as Gin Rummy or Mah Jhong can easily learn to play Tongits. It is a fun, fast moving game. It encourages players to work together but in the end it's winner takes all.

Press Reviews

"Tongits is a really addicting card game. Tongits may seem hard to play as you read through this, but it is not hard to get the hang of. The game is a bit complicated to explain, but not complicated to play. I really liked it and kept playing round after round."

"I really have to say that beyond the intuitive drag-and-drop interface, I loved playing with the AI (artificial intelligence). It was very challenging (though after several dozen rounds, I kinda got to know how the two other players cook their strategy that I’ve been able to predict when they will draw). But you guys have to try this. Props to Rico for a job well done."

"After a few games I started getting the hang of it and having fun. Overall it’s a great game with a pretty challenging AI. The graphics could be a little better, but it doesn’t detract too much."

"I would have posted this earlier today, but I got hooked playing the game for three hours. And I’m already losing against both the computer, with current wins 30, 25, 23 (I have the 23 wins). I’m still playing (alt+tabbing) as I’m writing this article."

I am now using the game and happy to tell you that I'm improving and winning the game. I am genuinely impressed by the quality of your game and services that you offer, so I told my friends about the game being available at your website. I can't think of any other game online that can provide such great service at such a reasonable price. We are a big Filipino community here in San Antonio, Texas and for sure, I will recomend your web site whenever we play tongits."

"I've been playing your Tongits game for awhile now and the gameplay, graphics, and sounds are all great. I registered the game since I liked it so much. I also tried the WinTongits game but your game is a lot better so I'm sticking with your game instead... I think your game is great and well worth the price to play it. I hope a lot of people buy it."
