Upper Hand is Pineapple Open Face Chinese Poker (OFCP), the strategic card game played by poker pros around the world. No bluffing. No hidden cards. Just smart decisions. **HOW IT WORKS** You're dealt cards one at a time. Place each card into one of three rows: • Bottom row: 5 cards • Middle row: 5 cards • Top row: 3 cards Each row is a poker hand. Bottom must be strongest, top must be weakest. If you break that order, you foul and lose everything. Build a pair of Queens or better on top (without fouling) and you reach Fantasy Land—a bonus round where you're dealt all 14 cards at once. **PLAY AGAINST AI** • Works completely offline — offline card game on airplanes, subways, anywhere • AI responds instantly, no waiting • Two difficulty levels: Casual and Pro • Practice and improve without needing an opponent **PLAY AGAINST FRIENDS** • Send a link to challenge anyone • Take turns whenever you want—no scheduling • Games save automatically • Track your head-to-head record **FEATURES** • No account required to start playing • Built-in tutorial teaches you in minutes • Track your stats: wins, fouls, Fantasy Land rate, royalties per hand • Beautiful design—feels like a gentleman's card room, not a casino • No ads interrupting your games **WHAT IS OPEN FACE CHINESE POKER?** Open Face Chinese Poker (OFC or OFCP) is a strategic poker variant where you build three separate poker hands from cards dealt one at a time.
