About the game

Tam cúc (三菊, "three chrysanthemums") is a multi-trick card game popular in Northern Vietnam. Tam Cúc is not just played for entertainment, but also played in ceremonies and festivals. It is commonly played during New Year celebrations, while waiting for bánh chưng to cook. It is similar to the games of Cart-Horse-Cannon (Chēmǎbāo 車馬包) from Fujian, Throw the Tiger (Zhìhǔ 擲虎) from Taiwan, and Noble (Giog 爵) from Malaysia.
