Why play Tractor here?

Two-deck Tractor in two modes: Classic, and Kitty Raid, where a higher pair takes the buried kitty and renames trump. Declare while the cards are still being dealt, bury the kitty as dealer, and fight over the last trick. Your partner and both opponents are AI at four levels. Master Hint marks the whole play it would make, and a card counter keeps the trumps, each side suit and the points still out.

How You WinAttackers who collect 80 points in a hand take over the deal; a dealer side that holds advances one to three levels. The first side whose level passes the ace wins the match.

How to play Tractor in one minute

  1. Pick Classic or Kitty Raid under New game and press Start. You sit South, the North seat is your AI partner, and East and West are the opponents.
  2. The cards come in five batches. After each one, a player holding a card of the level being played may declare trump: one level card names its suit, a pair of identical level cards overturns a single, and a pair of identical jokers makes the hand no trump.
  3. The dealer picks up the eight-card kitty, buries any eight cards, and leads first.
  4. A lead is a single, a pair of identical cards, a tractor (two or more adjacent pairs of one suit) or a throw. The others must follow suit, pair for pair; only a player with none of the suit may ruff with trumps of the same shape.
  5. Fives score 5, tens and kings 10. The attackers need 80 of the 200 points to take over the deal; if they fall short, the dealer side goes up one to three levels.
  6. Both sides start at 2, and the first side to play past the ace wins the match.

Kitty Raid adds one step: after the dealer buries, each of the other three in turn may take the kitty with a pair of level cards or jokers that outranks the cards that named trump, bury it again and make that pair's suit trump. From low to high: a single level card, the level pair of diamonds, clubs, hearts, spades, the black-joker pair, the red-joker pair. If you are unsure what to play, Hint raises a play that can be made and Master Hint marks the whole play it would choose.

Playing Tractor here: common questions

Is Tractor here free to play, and do I need an account or a download?

The table is free, with no account and no download: it runs in the browser on a phone or a computer. The AI runs locally, and an unfinished hand — your level, the kitty and all four hands — comes back when you return in the same browser.

Can I play Tractor on my own, without three other people?

That is how it is played here: you sit South with an AI partner in the North seat against East and West. There are four AI levels, and the top two sample tables consistent with what they have seen, then play their best candidates out to the end of the hand. There is no online room for friends.

Is the Tractor card game the same as Shengji, 80 Points or 双升?

Yes. Tractor (拖拉机), Shengji or Sheng Ji (升级), Eighty Points (80 分), 双升 and Tuo La Ji all name the same Chinese two-deck partnership card game: a tractor is a run of adjacent pairs, sheng ji means going up a level, and 80 is what the attackers must score. This table plays that four-player game; the one-deck 40 Points game, Finding Friends and the three- and four-deck games are not here.

Which Tractor rules does this table follow?

China's official two-deck Sheng Ji competition rules, with three choices that match how most people play online: no-trump hands exist, a failed throw costs no points, and the kitty multiplier counts the cards led to the last trick. There are two modes, Classic and Kitty Raid. One-, three- and four-deck games, Finding Friends, compulsory levels and play timers are not included.

How does Kitty Raid work?

Kitty Raid (Chao Di) adds one step to Classic. Once the dealer has buried the kitty, each of the other three players in turn may take the eight cards with a pair of level cards or a pair of jokers, bury again, and make that pair's suit trump; a joker pair makes the hand no trump. The pair must outrank the cards that named trump: a single level card, then the level pair of diamonds, clubs, hearts, spades, the black-joker pair, the red-joker pair. When three players in a row pass, play begins and the dealer still leads. Choose Kitty Raid under New game in the side panel.

Is there a card counter or a hint?

Both. The card counter under the scoreboard opens to show how many trumps are still out, how many cards of each side suit, the jokers and level cards, and the points not yet played. Master Hint marks the whole play it would make, and the Hint button raises a play that can be made. When you follow, the cards you must play are raised for you and the ones that cannot be played are dimmed. The scoreboard in the table's top-right corner always shows both sides' levels, who deals, the trump suit and the attackers' points, and every trump in your hand except the jokers carries a star.
