Play Thirteen Cards

Empty your hand. Take the table. Thirteen — also called Tiến lên or XIII — is a climbing card game. Beat the cards in front of you, or pass. The first player to play their last card wins.

Opens the table at game.xiii.cards.

Thirteen each

Four players, one deck. The lowest card on the table starts the round, and the 3 of spades is as low as it gets.

Climb, or bomb

Match the combination on the table with something higher. Bombs break the pattern when a normal play will not.

Friends or bots

Sit down with people you know, or practice against computer opponents while you learn the ladder.
