How Tonk is played here

The rules this table deals by. Everybody at the table sees the same lines before the first hand.

  • Five cards each, or seven with two players. Court cards count 10, aces 1, and number cards their face value.
  • A hand worth exactly 49 or 50 is a tonk and wins on the deal. A hand worth 13 or less may be spread instead. Both pay double, and so does shedding every card through the melds.
  • Before drawing you may drop: everybody shows, and the lowest count wins. Be beaten to it and you pay double for having asked.

How it works

  1. Open a table. It gets a short code of its own.
  2. Read the code out, or send the link. Anyone you send it to sits down as a guest, without an account.
  3. Deal once everyone is seated — or give each empty chair a bot and start now.
