According to Sergey & Co, Sap Sam Cheung is the original version of Chinese Poker. It's also know as 十三張 which literally translates to 13 cards (according to my masseuse, who is Manderin) I'm wondering if anyone has ever played the original version. Chinese is one of my favorite games, but I can never seem to get action for it online and only play with friends. I believe its a descendant of Pai Gow, which is were the splitting hands comes from. Any information or reference material is welcome! Dzieki!

Does that book have an ISBN? Trying to order it from the website, but the website's purchase process, um, leaves something to be desired....

He's the author of the book I mentioned. It used to have a link to buy the book. It's possible he has no more copies...

At this point the ISBN is probably most useful for checking used-book databases, since the author’s site may not have any stock left.
