Learn Open Face Chinese Poker

Upper Hand teaches you Open Face Chinese Poker (OFC) with a free, hands-on tutorial. No betting, no bluffing — just card placement. Here's the game in four steps.

1. Build three rows

You're building three separate poker hands: a Bottom row of 5 cards, a Middle row of 5 cards, and a Top row of 3 cards.

2. Place cards as they're dealt

Cards come a few at a time. Slot each into a row — once a card is placed, it stays put. That's the whole tension of the game: commit early or wait for information.

3. Keep your rows in order

Bottom must beat Middle
Middle must beat Top
Break the order and you foul — you lose the hand

4. Reach Fantasy Land

Land Queens or better on top without fouling to unlock Fantasy Land — a bonus round where you're dealt all your cards at once and gain the Upper Hand.
