Thirteen Rules
Thirteen is a shedding thẻ game that’s sometimes called the national thẻ game of Vietnam ! There it’s known as Tiến lên, in English it’s known as Thirteen. It’s a fairly simple game, but does require some strategy bự play it well .
Objective
The objective of the game is bự be the first player phệ get rid of all your cards .
Deck, card and suit rank
The game is played with a standard 52 thẻ deck. The rank of cards from low mập high is :
tam bốn 5 6 7 tám 9 10 Jack Queen King Ace 2
The unusual thing here is that the 2 is the highest thẻ. It’s also a special thẻ in that it cannot be used in any sequences .
The suits also have a rank. The suits from low bự high are :
Spades ♠, Clubs ♣, Diamonds ♦, Hearts ♥
The suit rank is less important than the normal thẻ rank though, & only comes into effect if you have two cards with the same rank. E.g. a 5 of spades is always higher than a bốn of hearts, even though spades is the lowest suit và hearts is the highest suit, because 5 is higher than bốn & that’s more important. But if you have a 5 of spades và a 5 of hearts then the 5 of hearts would be considered higher because the rank is the same but hearts is higher than spades .Gameplay
In real life there can be 2 or more players in the game, here on CardGames. io we always have bốn players. Each player gets dealt 13 cards. The player with the ba of spades starts the first ván of the game. He has phệ play that thẻ first, but it can be part of a combination. In later rounds the winner of the last ải starts & doesn’t have phệ start with the ba of spades .
When the table is empty và a player is playing he can play a few different types of combinations. Thos e are :
- Single card. Just a single card of any rank.
- Pair of cards with the same rank, e.g. two 3’s.
- Three cards of the same rank.
- Four cards of the same rank.
- Sequence of at least 3 cards, e.g. 4,5,6. The card in a sequence don’t have to have the same suit. A 2 can never be part of a sequence.
- Double sequence of at least 6 cards. A double sequence has two cards of each rank, e.g. 3,3,4,4,5,5. These are hard to get and don’t often occur.
Once a player has put out a combination the other players have to try to play the same type of combination with a higher rank. E.g. if the first player puts out a single card, a 5 lets say,
then the other players can only put out single cards on top of it. If the first player puts out a pair of cards the others must also put out a pair, with a higher rank. If a player can’t play a
higher ranking combination of the same type he must say Pass. If no player can put out a higher combination than what’s on the table, they all say Pass and the cards are removed from the table.
The player who had the final combination on the table gets to play next and can play any combination he wants, since the table is now empty.A player is allowed phệ Pass even if he has cards that he could play. However, if he does that he will have bự keep passing until the current cards have been cleared from the table .
Understanding the ranking and how it works is very important. We talked about the suit rank before, e.g. a H5 is higher than a C5, and so you can play
the H5 on top of the C5.For pairs you can play the same numerical rank if the highest thẻ of the pair is higher than the highest thẻ of the pair on the table. So you can can play C5 H5 on top of D5 S5 because H5 is higher than D5. Or you can play any pair of 6 ‘ s or higher on top of any pair of 5 ‘ s because numerical rank matters more than suit rank .
For sequences you can play another sequence if the highest thẻ of your sequence is higher than the highest thẻ of the sequence on the table. Again, it’s all about the highest thẻ of the combination. So you can play C5 H6 D7 on top of D5 D6 C7 because D7 is higher than C7. Or you can play any three thẻ sequence that starts on a higher numerical rank, e. g. starts from 6 .
It sounds more complicated than it is. Basically you always have béo play the same type of combination as the one that’s on the table và the highest thẻ in your combination has mập be higher than the highest thẻ in the combination on the table .Bombs
2 is the highest thẻ in the deck. However, there are a couple of combinations known as bombs that can be played on top of 2 ‘ s as follows :
- A 4-of-a-kind or a double sequence of 3 or more can be played on top of a single 2.
- A double sequence of 4 or more can be played on top of two 2’s.
- A double sequence of 5 or more can be played on top of three 2s.
- A higher bomb of the same type of combination can be played on top of a previously played bomb.
Winning
The player that finishes all his cards first wins the ván và gets tam points. The other players keeps playing. The second player bự finish gets 2 points, the third gets một point và the fourth gets 0 points. The first player mập get 10 points or more wins the game. If two players get lớn 10 in the same ải và have the same score, then the game continues until there’s only one winner. That’s not in the original rules, but we prefer it here at CardGames. io, it’s nicer bự have one final winner rather than many !
Some versions of the game allow ” Instant Win ” if you get dealt four 2 ‘ s, or a sequence from tam phệ ace. We don’t use that rule here on CardGames. io .

Just a quick note about how selecting và playing cards works. When you nhấp chuột on a thẻ you select it, it moves up slightly. Once you’ve selected cards that size a legal move they will be played automatically. E.g. there are two 5 ‘ s on the table. As soon as you’ve clicked on two 6 ‘ s in your hand they will be played. If you have selected one 6 & want Khủng deselect it và select 7 ‘ s instead, just nhấp chuột again on the selected 6 và it will be deselected & you’re không lấy phí mập select 7 s .
There’s a ” Play ” button next phệ your player, but you really only have phệ use it when you’re playing onto an empty table & are playing fewer cards than you can. E.g. you have three 6 ‘ s, but you only want phệ play two of them because you want bự use the third one for a sequence. Then once you’ve selected 2 sixes you can press the Play button béo play just those two sixes. If you on the other hand selected all three 6 ‘ s then we will play them for you because we know that you can’t add any more cards béo that play .
