Upper Hand: Poker Meets Chess

Place cards into three poker hands—but your bottom row must beat your middle, and your middle must beat your top. One wrong move and you foul.

Upper Hand is Pineapple Open Face Chinese Poker (OFCP), the strategic card game played by poker pros around the world. No bluffing. No hidden cards. Just smart decisions.

HOW IT WORKS

You're dealt cards one at a time. Place each card into one of three rows: • Bottom row: 5 cards • Middle row: 5 cards
• Top row: 3 cards

Each row is a poker hand. Bottom must be strongest, top must be weakest. If you break that order, you foul and lose everything.

Build a pair of Queens or better on top (without fouling) and you reach Fantasy Land—a bonus round where you're dealt all 14 cards at once.

WHAT IS OPEN FACE CHINESE POKER?

Open Face Chinese Poker (OFC or OFCP) is a strategic poker variant where you build three separate poker hands from cards dealt one at a time. Unlike Texas Hold'em, there's no betting rounds and no bluffing—just pure card placement strategy.

The "Pineapple" variant (which Fantasy Land uses) deals you 3 cards per turn after the first round. You place 2 and discard 1, adding an extra layer of decision-making.

OFCP has become popular among professional poker players as a skill game to play between tournaments. Now you can play it anywhere.

PERFECT FOR
