Fair play in Dou Dizhu, without exploitation
New deals use shared encrypted-deck, shuffle and decryption proofs with a fixed game-specific manifest: 36 cards for Short Deck, 52 for standard decks, jokers for Dou Dizhu, and distinct physical identities for Guandan and Color Clash. After completion, choose Verify dealing in the table menu for your proofs; Guandan provides each deal, while Color Clash chains discard reshuffle epochs. Only your permitted cards and public cards are opened; secret seeds are never published. The browser checks the proof against the commitment and visible cards saved on this device; missing visible-card observations are explicitly reported as incomplete verification. New deals lock the deck and seats before player commitment and reveal; each Guandan deal and Color Clash reshuffle has a fresh exchange. Full device verification requires your contribution and no withheld commitments; missing own contributions, withheld reveals or missing device evidence produce incomplete verification. Verification does not exclude operator aborts or prove every action, settlement rule or off-table behaviour. The server still knows the cards. Older deals keep their original verification protocol.
Fair play without exploitation: funded by memberships, not player losses. No manufactured hands or advantages for sale. Membership never changes the deal, rules, or outcome. No real-money play.

Dou Dizhu · Rules and scoring
These are the rules used by BluffKing. Regional variants can differ; check the game settings before playing.
How results are settled
Each farmer settles chips per point × bid × multiplier; the landlord settles the combined result of both farmers. Bombs, rockets and springs affect the multiplier; see the cap below. Practice chips are tracked separately from other games.
Playing rules
- Three players use 54 cards: 17 each plus 3 bottom cards for the landlord, who leads. Either farmer going out wins for both farmers.
- Bid 1, 2 or 3 above the current bid, or pass. A bid of 3 ends bidding. If all pass, redeal.
- Play singles, pairs, triples, triples with a single/pair, straights, pair runs, planes with wings, four with two, bombs and rockets. Straights need 5 ranks, pair runs 3 pairs; runs exclude 2s and jokers.
- Beat the same shape and length with a higher main rank. Bombs beat ordinary shapes; the rocket beats all. Two passes clear the trick and the last player leads; the leader cannot pass.
- Single plane wings may form pairs but cannot use a fourth card of a body rank. Pair wings must be distinct pairs. Four with two singles may carry a pair; four with two pairs needs distinct pairs.
- Each farmer wins or loses chips per point × bid × multiplier; the landlord settles the combined result of both farmers. Bombs, rocket and spring double the multiplier, capped at 16. Spring: landlord wins before either farmer plays; reverse spring: farmers win after the landlord plays only once.
- Each session starts with a free chip buy-in. Add chips during the session; chips cannot be redeemed for cash. Entry needs one point’s worth of chips; actual wins and losses are capped by both sides’ opening chips. Timeout or disconnect uses autoplay; leaving still settles the current hand.
