## What is OpenHand?

Chinese Poker with everything to play for.

OpenHand is Open Face Chinese Poker with a full competitive season — leagues, cups, betting, and a cast of 59 AI opponents standing between you and the Premier title.

SEASON MODE
Start in League Two. Win matches, earn promotion, climb through 4 divisions to the Premiership. Every season runs 14 matchdays — 7 Standard and 7 Pineapple rounds, alternating. Relegation is real. Budget is tight. Every decision counts.

  3 CUP COMPETITIONS
  • Open Cup — 32 teams, 5 knockout rounds
  • Division Cup — 16 teams from your tier
  • Invitational — Elite 8-team bracket
  Cup runs pay out big and can save a rough season.

MATCH BETTING
Elo-based odds on every league and cup fixture. Back favourites or hunt value on underdogs. 

 59 AI OPPONENTS
 Named characters with distinct play styles — Royalty Hunters, Scoop Seekers, Conservative grinders, Fantasyland chasers. 5 difficulty tiers from Beginner to Master, each with calibrated Elo ratings from a 6,000-match tournament.

ECONOMY THAT MATTERS
Pineapples are your budget. Entry fees scale by division. Match bonuses reward wins, margins, and clean sheets. Bet smart or go broke. Per-point scoring means every card placement pays — or costs.

THE GAME
Open Face Chinese Poker (OFC): deal 13 cards across three rows — back (5), middle (5), front (3). Beat your opponent row by row. Score royalties for premium hands. Reach Fantasyland and play with all 14 cards face-down.

Includes Standard and Pineapple variants, interactive tutorial, real-time Game Center multiplayer, iCloud backup, and a cosmetics shop with card backs, table felts, and more.

No ads. No energy timers. Just poker.
