pharcade Table Pusoy Tournament: Card Play at Its Sharpest
Table Pusoy Tournament brings the classic Filipino 13-card game into a structured, multi-hand competition format — available on pharcade where local law and eligible regions permit. Each seat at the table starts with the same deck conditions, so every round comes down to how well you read your hand and set your three-row split. Access is through your account on any browser, no separate download needed.
Pusoy — also called Filipino Poker — asks you to divide 13 dealt cards into three rows: a bottom five-card hand, a middle five-card hand, and a top three-card hand. Each row must rank equal to or lower than the row below it. In tournament format on pharcade, you compete against other seated hands, and the scoring is cumulative across multiple deal rounds. A royalty hand — such as a straight flush in the bottom row — adds bonus points to your round score without changing the base hand result. The game title Pusoy Tournament is part of the pharcade lobby, available to accounts in eligible regions. Check your account dashboard after login to see current tournament schedules and your standing.
HAND MECHANICS DETAIL
Pusoy Tournament Betting and Hand Structure
Setting your three rows is the core decision in every Pusoy Tournament hand. The bottom row carries the highest card weight, the middle row must not outrank it, and the top three-card row sits lowest. Misset hands — where a higher row outranks a lower one — result in an automatic point penalty for that round. Understanding which hands carry the most scoring weight, and when to sacrifice a middle row to protect a strong bottom, is what separates a careful player from a rushed one. Bet sizing in tournament format is set per entry, visible on the table lobby screen before you confirm your seat.
Bottom Row (Five Cards)
The strongest of your three rows. Standard poker rankings apply — pair, two pair, three of a kind, straight, flush, full house, four of a kind and straight flush all count here. This row sets the benchmark that your other two rows must not exceed.
Middle Row (Five Cards)
Must rank equal to or weaker than the bottom row. A strong middle row built around a full house or flush is possible only when the bottom row already holds something stronger. Balancing both rows is the central skill challenge of the game.
Top Row (Three Cards)
Only three cards, so no straights or flushes count here — pairs and three of a kind are the strongest hands available. A three-of-a-kind in the top row is called a dragon or set, and it scores a royalty bonus point in most tournament formats.
Royalty Bonus Points
Certain premium hands — straight flush, four of a kind, full house in the bottom row, or a set in the top row — award extra points on top of the standard win. The exact royalty point table is displayed on the game screen before each deal begins.
PHONE SCREEN LAYOUT
Playing Pusoy Tournament on a Small Screen
Portrait mode stacks your three card rows vertically so each row fills a clear horizontal band across the screen. Tap a card to select it, then tap the target row slot to place it — no drag precision needed. The row-rank indicator sits just above each band, turning green when the row is valid and amber when a misset is detected before you confirm. In landscape mode the three rows sit side by side, which some players find easier for comparing the middle and bottom rows simultaneously. The royalty point table collapses into a small icon tap so it stays out of the way during active hand-setting.

PUSOY TERMS DEFINED
Pusoy Tournament Terms Every Player Should Know
These definitions cover the specific vocabulary you will see on the Table Pusoy Tournament table screen, in scoring summaries and in round results. Each term is used consistently across the game interface so you know exactly what a result means when the round ends.
What is a Misset in Pusoy?
A misset occurs when a higher-ranked row is placed below a lower-ranked row, violating the row-order rule. The penalty is an automatic point deduction for that round. The game flags a misset before you confirm your hand.
What does Royalty mean in Pusoy Tournament?
A royalty is a premium hand configuration — such as a straight flush in the bottom row or a three-of-a-kind in the top row — that earns extra bonus points on top of the standard round score. The full royalty table is shown on the game screen.
What is a Scoop in Pusoy?
A scoop happens when one player beats all three rows of every other player at the table in the same round. Scooping triggers a multiplier on the points won, the exact value of which is shown in the tournament rules panel before the round starts.
What does Dragon Hand mean?
A Dragon Hand refers to 13 cards arranged in a consecutive sequence regardless of suit. It is one of the rarest starting hands and scores a maximum royalty in most Pusoy Tournament rule sets. Availability and scoring vary by table configuration.
What is the Row-Rank Rule?
The row-rank rule requires that your bottom five-card row ranks higher than the middle five-card row, which must rank higher than the top three-card row. Breaking this order intentionally or accidentally results in a misset penalty for the round.
What does Tournament Standing mean?
Tournament standing is your cumulative point total across all completed rounds in the current session. It determines your position on the table leaderboard. Your current standing is displayed in real time on the score panel and saved in your account history.
