A table for your friends.

Start a game together

1. Create a private table. Open the game, choose Create private table, and enter your name.
2. Share the invitation. Friends open the link, enter their names, and join your table in their browser.
3. Ready up together. When every human player is ready, a three-second countdown begins. Bots fill empty seats only when the game starts.

You can also join a public game, practice with three bots, or try the guided lessons from the main menu. Your partner always sits opposite you.

How Shengji works

This version uses four players, two standard decks including jokers, and an eight-card kitty. One partnership defends; the other attacks by collecting points from tricks.

1. Declare trump during the deal. A level card can declare its suit as trump. Eligible pairs can override weaker declarations. Jokers and all cards matching the level are always trump.
2. Prepare the kitty. The dealer takes the eight remaining cards, then buries eight cards face down.
3. Follow the lead. Play singles, matching pairs, or consecutive pairs called tractors. Follow the led suit and required pattern when you can. A winning trump play can beat a non-trump play when the player is out of the led suit.
4. Collect points and level up. The attacking team aims for 80 points by default. The result decides the next defending team and level advancement.

Shengji has many regional rules. This app includes Chao Di (抄底) after the first deal, mandatory defending levels, and penalties for failed combination leads. The in-game Rules reference explains this version’s full rules.

The last trick matters

If the attackers win the last trick, the kitty is revealed and its scoring cards earn a multiplied bonus. If defenders win it, the kitty stays hidden and adds no attacking points.
