How To Play Tonk | Game Night How To

Tonk is a strategy game that is best played with 3 - 5 players. The objective of the game is to get all of the cards out of your hand. The playstyle is similar to Gin Rummy. To get cards out of your hand your have to lay down a spread. Spreads are 3 cards of the same value (Three 7s, Three Kings, etc) or 3 cards in numerical order of the same suit (3, 4, 5 Diamonds). If you need to learn more about how to play Tonk here's the perfect video for you.

My Dad showed me the game - he was an Old Time Teamsters Truck Driver and gone now. I know my Dad and I appreciate your video. I was in the hospital and my Daughter and I would play Tunk and Rummy it helped us both so much - it is just a good game. I’m ready to play Tunk anytime - you got the Quarters I got the time.

I’m the only child and I’m tried of going to parties watching but embarrassed to ask someone to teach me how to play. I’m using this to teach myself while using/teaching my own kids Lol 😂

Brings back my middle school memories 🥹

Played a lot of this in high school (south FL). Are you sure you have to wait 3 turns to drop after a spread? I thought it was just that you have wait 3 turns to drop if someone hits your spread. You also didn't mention dropping and winning on the first turn if you have 49 or 50.

Great explanation, thank you! I've been reading some Black Company (fantasy book series) and the characters in the books play Tonk all the time so I got curious. I've never heard of it before, thought Glen Cook made it up, but considering the comment section being predominantly American and the fact that the author is a Vietnam veteran it makes sense that he'd like to include it, he probably played it with his own battle brothers all the time. Pretty neat how that works!

Bro u explained TONK “GLORIOUSLY” 🤣💪🏾😎

[sevenwhatuknow]

Played for money entire bus rides in middle and high school (GA and FL). Easy way to make some quick cash. Recently showed my girl how to play. But a way we played is after cards are dealt if you got 51 in your hand you can drop without spreads or waiting 3 turn for a quick win

We play it where you can drop anytime, even on the 1st play with all 5 cards.

$20s a hand on 2 heads playn tonk is how I learned a valuable lesson about gamblin.
Some games are more gamblin than skill.

[rationaloneintheroom]

Where can I get those cards from? They are clean👌🏾

[onseki]

You can pick up from the discard pile right? But you have to take every card forward of the card you want? That's how we used to play, but I didn't know the "drop" win condition

[lisalove]

No mention of hit and hold. That's another reason to hit someone so they can't " knock". .

Also what's the point of having to wait typically 3 spins before you can knock? You can knock anytime it's your turn as long as you don't get hit

[alanwright]

Can you drop with 5 cards in your hand? And if not how many do you have to have left in your hand before dropping. And how long do you have to wait to drop if someone hits your spread?
