GameZone, the Philippines' leading card game developer, has launched an exciting digital version of the beloved card game Pusoy, bringing this popular pastime to a wider audience. This release capitalizes on the game's deep-rooted popularity among Filipinos, alongside other favorites like Tongits and Pusoy Dos.
Pusoy, also known as Chinese Poker, challenges players to create three winning hand combinations. The game's digital adaptation maintains the essence of traditional Pusoy offline while introducing innovative features to enhance the gaming experience.
In Pusoy games, each player receives 13 cards and must arrange them into three hands: front (3 cards), middle (5 cards), and back (5 cards). The key strategy lies in ensuring that each subsequent hand is equal to or stronger than the previous one. Unlike Pusoy Dos rules, there is no card discarding in Pusoy rules, focusing instead on creating the best possible hands.
GameZone's digital version, Pusoy Plus, closely adheres to these traditional rules while offering visual aids to assist players. When players correctly arrange cards, a check icon appears, and a ready icon signifies special hand combinations that can earn bonus points, adding an additional layer of strategy to the game.
For those seeking a fresh challenge, GameZone has also introduced Pusoy Swap. This variant retains the core elements of Pusoy Plus but includes an innovative 30-second swapping phase at the beginning of each round. During this time, players can exchange up to three cards, introducing an element of chance and quick decision-making to the game.
