Dou Di Zhu (斗地主, "Fight the Landlord") is China's most popular card game. Three players compete — one Landlord vs. two Peasants. The Landlord gets bonus cards but must defeat both opponents alone. Be the first to empty your hand to win the round!
A standard 54-card deck (52 + 2 jokers) is dealt: 17 cards each, with 3 cards set aside. Players bid for the Landlord role — the winner picks up the 3 bonus cards (20 total) and plays solo against the Peasant team.
Solo: any single card. Pair: two matching rank. Trio: three of a kind (can attach a solo or pair as a kicker). Chain: 5+ consecutive singles (e.g. 3-4-5-6-7). Pair chain: 3+ consecutive pairs. Airplane: 2+ consecutive trios with optional kickers. Bomb: four of a kind — beats everything except a Rocket. Rocket: both jokers — the unbeatable play.
The Landlord leads first. Each player must either play a higher combination of the same type or pass. If both opponents pass, you lead again with any combination. Bombs and Rockets can be played on any turn and beat everything (doubling the round multiplier).
Each round has a base stake multiplied by bombs/rockets played. The Landlord wins or loses double (playing 1 vs 2). After 5 rounds, your total score determines the final result. Positive score = you're ahead!
Seven levels from Beginner (AI plays simply, more hints) to Cyborg ☠ (expert AI, no hints). Higher difficulty also affects bidding aggression and AI combo recognition.
