Tiến lên (Vietnamese: tiến lên, tiến: advance; lên: to go up, up; literally: "go forward"), also known as Vietnamese cards, Thirteen, American Killer, or Jamal Patel in India, is a Vietnamese shedding-type card game devised in Southern China and Vietnam.It is similar to Zheng Shangyou, which uses a specially printed deck of cards, Big Two, and other "climbing" card games popular in many parts of Asia. Tien len, considered the national card game of Vietnam, is a game intended and best for 4 players.

Tu Sac (Tứ Sắc - Four Colors) is a popular Vietnamese game played with chess cards. The objective of the game is to organize a hand of cards into a combination of valid Tu Sac sets of cards through a process of melding new cards into the hand and discarding out trash cards. It is known as Si Se Pai (which also means four colors) in Chinese. Refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Color_Cards for more information

Pros and cons of Tien Len Southern Poker app for iPhone and iPad

Tien Len Southern Poker app good for

Stop complaining that you cant win cause you have to be good to play this game
I looked and found this to be the best. Dont listen to the people who say the AI is too hard. Im not Asian and can hold my own. Its definitely challenging, but in a good way. Also, you can change the pass and play buttons by swapping in the settings. Definitely hit it up for a good time and if you want a pick up and go app.
There are many other similar Tien Len games out there but I love the simplicity, clean interface of this one. There is no Multiplayer feature yet but if you prefer to play alone like me, you wont have problems. Please update! I dont mind to pay $.99 for a Premium version without ad! Thanks huynhcasi

Some bad moments

Wont recognize suited straights, wont allow bombs to beat 2s for me but allows CPU to drop bombs ON me... Messed up...
First the good, functionality and layout is great, looks good. The bad, get terrible hand after terrible hand, played near 200 rounds so far. Will get loaded with twos once and awhile, but rarely monsters or chops. Mostly low ball pairs. Also not being able to see how many cards the CPU players have is a draw back and in my opinion a huge part of the strategy generally in this game. Online or local games I would think would be a great addition to the game play here.
This game needs a counter (positive integers) for each time the game start a new game for the player to see how many times has he or she played.
Weak attempt, keep looking. (1) Gameplay goes wrong direction (2) you never know how many cards opponents have (3) cards fly by so fast you cant tell whats been played by who or how many cards played (4) winner can play anything to start - this is wrong, 3 of spades always leads (5) three straight pairs can beat any single two - but not always allowed (6) algorithm flawed, wont let you play winning hand/turn sometimes at random - different problem from #5 (7) do you really need a seventh reason? Fine, there are no rules indicating what card combos can beat a pair of twos. You have to guess and so far none of it makes sense. I imagine the good reviews are by people whove just played this best-card-game-of-all-time for the first time. If you know how to play this game, you will be disappointed. VC forever!
Its a good game but sometimes it wont let you beat a single two. An make it to where you can see how many cards your opponents have.
I love it. I feel as sitting mini-casino. It is worth to buy
