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.
