Upper Hand is the best app for Open Face Chinese Poker (OFC). FEATURES • Play your friends: Async turn-based play with dunks, chat and more. • Ranked: Get matched against a random opponent. • Play offline: play solo offline so you can play on a plane, on the subway, or anywhere without wifi. • Daily puzzle: a new board every day. Find the best play. • Coach: Get trained by the strongest OFC engine. • Quick hands: play one while you wait for coffee, or a dozen on a flight. HOW TO PLAY • You get 5 cards to start, then 3 at a time. Keep 2, throw 1 away. • Fill three rows: 5 cards on the bottom, 5 in the middle, 3 on top. • Your bottom hand must beat your middle, and your middle must beat your top. Get the order wrong and you foul, which scores zero. • Your rows go up against your opponent's, row by row. Big hands earn bonus points. • Make a pair of Queens or better on top without fouling and you unlock Upper Hand Advantage: on the next hand you're dealt all 14 cards at once. NEW TO POKER?
