Join the Beta
The game is playable end to end and being tested on real phones before it reaches the stores. No invite, no waiting list — just join.
Android — two steps
Google only lets a test like this run through a tester group, so there's one extra hop:
1. Join the
tester group with the Google account your phone uses.
2. Open the Play
opt-in link and install.
Step 2 only works once you're in the group, and it's the same Google account both times.

The house rules
Four ways chips move that have nothing to do with winning
These are the rules Vietnamese players argue about. Here they are settled, instantly, in front of everyone.
A bomb just beat a 2. The chopped player pays the chopper on the spot — more for a red 2 than a black one — and every counter-chop multiplies it.
Never play a single card all round and you are frozen: you pay the winner double the stake, plus extra for every 2 and every bomb still in your hand.
Still holding 2s or bombs when the round ends is expensive. Shed the dangerous cards early, or pay chop rates for the privilege of keeping them.
Some hands win the moment they are dealt — four 2s, six pairs, five consecutive pairs, a dragon straight. Everyone else pays double.
Straight answers
Questions people actually ask
Is this real gambling?
No. Chips and gems are play money. They have no real-world value, cannot be cashed out, and cannot be transferred between players for value. The game simulates card-table wagering — the way a family game does — and nothing of monetary value can be won.
Does it cost anything?
The game is free to play. Chips are always recoverable through daily rewards, hourly bonuses and the Lucky Spin, so running dry is never the end of the night. Optional chip packs will exist later; nothing is on sale today.
Do I need an account?
No. You can play as a guest forever — sign-in is an offer, never a wall. Linking an Apple or Google account exists so your progress survives a lost phone, and you can delete the account and everything in it at any time.
Which Tiến Lên is this?
Southern Tiến Lên (Tiến Lên Miền Nam, "Thirteen"): 3 is the lowest card, 2 is the highest, suits rank ♠ < ♣ < ♦ < ♥, and bombs chop 2s. The full ruleset — including the chop, frozen-hand and stuck-card penalties — is written out on the rules page.
Can I play with my family?
Yes — that is what Royal Clubs are for. Create a private room, choose the stake and how many seats it has, and share the code with the people you want in it.
What languages does it speak?
Vietnamese and English, switchable in Settings. The Vietnamese is the language the game was written in, not a translation of the English.
