Ask any Filipino adult and they'll have a Tongits memory. Maybe it was Christmas Eve at your Lolo's house, everyone crowded around a plastic table. Maybe it was a lazy Saturday afternoon in the garage with the neighbours, snacks everywhere, somebody's phone playing OPM in the background.

Already know how to play? Skip ahead. For newcomers, here's a quick rundown of the standard Tongits rules used at 345ph.
Tongits is played by 3 players using a standard 52-card deck. One player is designated the dealer. The dealer gets 13 cards; the other two players each receive 12 cards. The remaining cards form the draw pile in the centre.
The goal is to get rid of all your cards by forming sets (three or more cards of the same rank) and sequences (three or more consecutive cards of the same suit), while minimising the point value of unmatched cards remaining in your hand.
On your turn at 345ph, you draw one card from the deck. You may then meld (lay down) valid sets or sequences from your hand. You may also add individual cards to existing melds on the table. You finish your turn by discarding one card face-up.
Other players can "cut" (sapaw) your discard if it completes or extends their existing melds on the table — which prevents you from completing a draw and forces the hand to scoring. This is where the real depth of Tongits strategy comes into play on 345ph.
There are three ways a Tongits hand can end. Know all three to play smartly.
* Card point values: Ace = 1, numbered cards = face value, face cards (J/Q/K) = 10 points each. The fewer unmelded points you hold, the stronger your position at 345ph Tongits tables.
One of the best things about how 345ph has built out its Tongits section is the variety of table options. Not everyone plays for the same stakes, and not everyone wants the same kind of session. Some people want to warm up with low-stakes casual games. Others come to 345ph specifically for the tournament action where the prize pools are serious.
Low-stakes tables at 345ph start from as little as ₱10 buy-in — perfect for players who want to sharpen their skills without putting too much on the line. Mid-stakes tables attract the core Filipino Tongits community who play regularly and know their way around a hand. The VIP tables at 345ph are for experienced players ready to compete at higher buy-ins with correspondingly bigger payouts.
Daily tournaments are a highlight of the 345ph Tongits experience. These are scheduled events with fixed prize pools, where players buy in at a set amount and compete through multiple rounds until one player walks away with the top prize. If you've been playing Tongits your whole life and genuinely think you're one of the sharpest players around — the 345ph tournament lobby is where you prove it.
From casual family-style games to serious high-stakes tournaments — there's a Tongits table for every type of player.
