The game in question is Guandan, where you and your teammate try to make poker hands to discard your cards before the opposing pair does, which lets you level up. Teams can only win the entire match by reaching level A while avoiding having the player who discards all cards last.
The game looks interesting, has anyone played?
I’ve played a lot of Applewood lately. I love shedding games but I prefer ones were bombing is very limited or non-existent (Dalmuti is awesome without bombs, and Haggis (Applewood’s predecessor) strikes a fun balance where there are bombs but they’re fairly distributed).
When bombs are too plentiful, sequencing your hand gets foggy.
