How to play Kitti
The deal and the ante
- Everyone antes the stake (set in the lobby) into the pot, then gets 9 cards from a standard 52-card deck. The deal rotates each hand.
- Split your nine cards into three sets of three. Sets always play strongest first — the app orders them for you, so all that matters is how you group the cards.
- Once everyone has locked in, the sets are turned over one round at a time — by the dealer on the first hand, then by whoever won the previous hand (after a kitti the same player keeps revealing).
Set rankings (strongest first)
- Trial — three of a kind (A-A-A best).
- Pure run — three in a row, same suit. A-K-Q is best, then A-2-3, then K-Q-J down to 4-3-2.
- Run — three in a row, mixed suits (same order as pure runs).
- Flush — three of a suit, compared card by card from the top.
- Pair — higher pair wins; equal pairs compare the odd card.
- High card — compared card by card from the top.
- Suits never break ties — identical top sets mean that round is drawn and nobody wins it.
Winning the pot
- Each of the three rounds goes to the best set on the table.
- Win two rounds in a row (1st & 2nd, or 2nd & 3rd) and the pot is yours.
- Salaami! Sweep all three rounds and every player pays you an extra stake on top of the pot.
- If nobody wins two in a row, that's a kitti: the pot stays on the table, everyone antes again, and the next hand plays for the bigger pot.
The session and settling up
- The ledger tracks every player's net units across all hands — antes out, pots in.
- Between hands anyone can deal again or end the session.
- Ending the session first refunds any carried pot equally (everyone anted it), then shows the shortest list of payments to square everyone up — who pays whom, and how much.
