🤖 NEW — 3 AI Difficulty Levels

Choose your challenge! Tiến Lên Tự Sắc now features 3 AI difficulty levels:

☆ Normal — Friendly AI bots for casual play. Perfect for learning Tiến Lên or enjoying a relaxing game.

★★ Pro — Challenge yourself against smarter AI opponents! In PRO Mode, the AI is cranked up — each opponent plays with its own personality profile, mimicking real human playing styles. One may aggressively chain combos, another may hold back and bait your strongest cards. Outsmart all three to prove you're a true Tiến Lên master!

★★★ Expert (NEW!) — The ultimate AI challenge, powered by Monte Carlo Tree Search — the same technology behind AlphaGo and world-class poker AIs. This AI doesn't just follow rules — it simulates thousands of possible futures to find the perfect play, predicts what cards you're hiding, and finds winning moves that humans can't see. Do you dare to take on the strongest Tiến Lên AI ever created?

Tu Sac (Tứ Sắc — Four Colors) is a popular Vietnamese game played with chess cards. Organize your hand into valid sets through melding and discarding. Known as Si Se Pai (四色牌) in Chinese.

Catte (Cắt Tê) is a thrilling 4-player trick-taking card game. Each player is dealt 6 cards and must survive 6 rounds of strategic play. Win at least one trick in rounds 1–4 to avoid elimination, then battle it out in the dramatic face-up rounds 5–6. Save your best cards for last — the final round decides the winner!

Xap Xam (Xập Xám — Chinese Poker) is a classic card game popular across Vietnam and Asia. Receive 13 cards and arrange them into 3 hands — Back (5 cards), Middle (5 cards), and Front (3 cards) — where each hand must be stronger than the one after it. Compare your hands against the AI opponent to score points. Master the art of balancing strong combinations across all three hands!

Ratings and reviews

It's too easy to beat a 2 in this game. I played 3 games and all 3 games someone had four-of-a-kind, twice from the same player in a row. Three double consecutives and Four-of-a-kind are supposed to be very rare in real life, which is why a 2 is so powerful. In this game, a 2 means nothing because someone's gonna beat you. It's too unrealistic, making the game annoying to play. You end up losing points even after planning your cards well. Also, wish there was a way to pay to get rid of the ads.

Turned a great app into Garbage. I've been using this app for a lot of years without issue before the big update that changed it. New play styles and such. The game is extremely buggy and crashes which in turn make you lose progress. If you try to "redo" a hand it will reset all of your progress.... It was a money grab because now there are longer ads as well.

This automatically updated from a completely different tien len app without my consent and erased my scores. I am uninstalling this and reinstalling the version I had. Again, this is NOT the app I installed and have been playing for years. This app appeared on my phone without me installing it, and the other app was uninstalled without my consent.
