Tiến Lên Miền Nam — the Southern Vietnamese card game — made for family, not for advertisers.
No ads. Ever. Not a banner, not a video, not a "watch this to keep playing". The core game is free forever: unlimited hands, standard Southern rules, no account required.
AN AI THAT PLAYS FAIR
Ask around about card apps and you'll hear the same suspicion: the computer cheats. Ours can't. The AI is handed the same information you have — its own cards and what has been played — and nothing else. Deals come from a seed, so they are reproducible and auditable rather than dealt to a script. Four difficulties, from Casual to Master.
YOU CAN SEE WHY YOU LOST
Every hand shows the points each player gained or lost, under the scoring your table chose. A free card tracker shows every card played and which heo are still out. Nothing about the result is a mystery.
THE TABLE IS A FAMILY
Ten Southern kinship characters — Cô Hai, Chú Ba, Dì Tư, Bà Mười, Bé Út and the rest — each with their own folk-woodcut portrait, rotating every session.
THREE WAYS TO PLAY
· On your own, against the AI, offline and forever free
· Pass & Play — one phone around the table
· Private rooms — share a code or a QR and family joins from anywhere
Joining a room is always free. Rooms are private and code-only: no public matchmaking, no strangers, no free-text chat. Live voice is opt-in, ephemeral, and never recorded — talk while you play, mute anyone you like.
RULES YOUR TABLE ACTUALLY USES
Classic, đếm lá (count cards) or nhất ăn tất (winner takes all). Two, three or four players. Tới trắng instant wins — four 2s, a dragon straight, six pairs. Thối penalties, đền bài, and năm đôi thông as a Southern specialty. Set the table the way your family has always played it.
LEARN IT IN FIVE MINUTES
Never played? How to Play walks through the goal, card order, every combination and the chop hierarchy, with real cards — plus a preview of what the rare hands look like when they land.
FULLY BILINGUAL
Complete English and Vietnamese, including the rules and every play called by name.
PRO (one-time)
House-rules editor, all four AI difficulties, detailed stats and table themes.
HOST PASS
Only hosting a room costs anything, and joining one never does.
No ads, no chips, no gambling, no coins, no energy timers, no dark patterns.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
A clearer app icon — the pig now stands out properly against the background, which also makes it much easier to see if you have low vision.
You can now help make the AI better. After you've played a few hands the app asks, once, whether it may send a record of your finished offline games. It's off unless you turn it on, it never includes anything personal, and you can delete everything you've sent at any time from Profile.
Also: private rooms now close exactly when the on-screen countdown says they will, and a room stays open while you're only talking.
