Tam cúc (三菊, "three chrysanthemums") is a multi-trick card game popular in Northern Vietnam.

It is similar to the games of Cart-Horse-Cannon (Chēmǎbāo 車馬包) from Fujian, Throw the Tiger (Zhìhǔ 擲虎) from Taiwan, and Noble (Giog 爵) from Malaysia.

Tam cúc uses a deck of 32 Chinese chess cards divided into two suits: red and black.

Each suit is divided into seven ranks: 1 general (tướng 將), 2 majors (sĩ 士), 2 elephants (tượng 象), 2 carts (xe 車), 2 cannons (pháo 砲), 2 horses (mã 馬), and 5 soldiers (tốt 卒).

Notably, the ranks are written the same as the black-side pieces of Cờ tướng for both red and black suits.

[4] To begin, one person will shuffle the cards, and another will be designated to play as the House (Nhà Cái), i.e. the leader for the round.

Each player may reveal their hand to challenge the current round, or accept defeat by throwing away their placed cards face-down into a discard pile.

The player who revealed the highest-ranked hand will win the current round and collect all played cards[clarification needed].

It has become a trademark for New Years and other large festivals or celebrations, so many famous Vietnamese poets and writers had talked about this game in their work.
