From family game nights in Pampanga to friendly tournaments in Davao, Pusoy has always been part of Filipino culture. Now you can play it online at 123mo — anytime, anywhere, against real players from all over the Philippines.
Pusoy at 123mo — the game your barkada grew up playing, now online.
From baryo gatherings to online tables, it's always been about the best hand and the best bluff.
If you grew up in the Philippines, chances are you've played Pusoy — or at least watched your lolo and lola clean everyone out during the holidays. It's one of those games that crosses every generation. You'll find it at family reunions, fiesta breaks, and late-night barkada sessions. The beauty of Pusoy is that it rewards both skill and patience, two things Filipinos have in spades.
At its core, Pusoy (also known as Chinese Poker) is a game where each of the four players receives 13 cards from a standard deck. Your job is to arrange those 13 cards into three separate hands — a back hand of five cards, a middle hand of five cards, and a front hand of three cards — each of which must be equal to or stronger than the one in front of it. Then you compare hands against the other three players and score points for each one you win.
What makes 123mo the right place to play Pusoy online is the combination of a smooth interface, fast matchmaking, and a player base made up almost entirely of Filipinos who grew up knowing the game. There's no need to explain the rules in the chat — everyone at the table already knows what they're doing.
123mo offers both Pusoy (Chinese Poker / 13-card) and Pusoy Dos (2-card shedding style). Whether you prefer the strategic arrangement game or the fast-paced version, both are available 24/7.
Play Pusoy the way it was meant to be — with real competition and real stakes.

Know your hands, win more games. Here's the ranking order used on 123mo.
No matching cards, no pattern. The hand is judged by the highest card. This is the weakest possible hand — avoid putting this in your back position.
Two cards of the same rank. Common in the front (3-card) hand. A pair of Aces in front is already strong enough to win most head-to-head matchups.
Two separate pairs. Best placed in the middle hand. Two Pairs of high-ranking cards can beat most players who put them in back.
Three cards of the same rank. Strong enough for the front 3-card hand (trips) and solid in the middle. A three-of-a-kind in front is already a near-guaranteed win there.
Five cards in sequential order, any suit. A Straight beats all pairs and trips but loses to flushes and above.
Five cards of the same suit. Stronger than a Straight. Judged by the highest card when two players both have a Flush.
Three of a kind plus a pair. A solid back-hand anchor. The three-of-a-kind component determines which Full House beats the other.
All four cards of the same rank. Very rare and very powerful. Getting four-of-a-kind almost guarantees a back-hand win on any 123mo table.
Five sequential cards of the same suit. The Royal Flush (10–J–Q–K–A of the same suit) is the best hand in Pusoy. When you hold this, put it in the back and collect.
Understanding hand rankings is the first step to winning at 123mo Pusoy.
