How do I play?
Each of the 4 players gets 10 cards. Beat the last play with a higher combo of the same shape (single, pair, triple, or same-suit straight) or pass. Empty your hand first to win the round.
What is "Tới Trắng"?
If your opening 10-card hand forms a Dragon Straight, Four 2s, an all-one-color hand, Three Triples, or Five Pairs, you win the round instantly — before anyone plays a card.
Why can't I win with a lone 2?
Playing a single "2" (the strongest card, or "heo") as your very last card doesn't count as a win in Sâm Lốc — hold it back for a pair, triple, or straight instead.
What is "Báo Sâm"?
With a strong, short hand, you can declare Sâm before you lead. Winning the round afterward doubles your points — but a failed declaration doubles your penalty.
What are the difficulty levels?
Easy, Normal, and Hard control how well the AI opponents read the table and hold back key cards.
Is the app bilingual?
Yes — switch between English and Tiếng Việt anytime from the home screen.
