The name of the game means "competing for points". It is an interesting hybrid between a climbing game and a point-trick game of the king-ten-five group. The mechanics are like those of Zheng Shangyou or Big Two but the primary aim is to win points rather than necessarily to get rid of cards as quickly as possible. The point values of cards are the same as in the popular Chinese point-trick game Da Bai Fen (Hundred).
From three to six people can play.
A 54 card pack is used, consisting of the standard 52 cards plus two distinguishable jokers, big and small. Generally the red or colourful joker is agreed to be the big one.
The object is to win valuable cards in tricks. The fives are worth 5 points each, and the tens and kings are worth 10 points each. All the other cards are worthless. There are therefore 100 points in total to be won on each hand. A target score for the game is agreed - generally 500 or (for a longer game) 1000. The winner is the first player whose score reaches or exceeds the target.
The deal and play are anticlockwise. For the first deal a randomly chosen player shuffles, that player's right-hand neighbour cuts. The Chinese method of dealing is that the players take their own cards. The pack is placed face-down and starting with the player who cut and proceeding anticlockwise, each player takes the top card without showing it. This continues until all the cards are distributed to the players. Some players may have one more card than others - this does not matter. Players can look at and sort their own cards as they pick them up.
In the first deal, the player who holds the three of hearts leads to the first trick. The tricks in this game are not like those in most western trick-taking games, where the players contribute one card each and then the trick is over. Instead:
The trick ends when all the players but one pass in succession. At this point the trick is won by the player who played the final and therefore highest combination. This player gathers in all the cards played to the trick and keeps them in a face-down pile. The winner of the trick leads to the next trick, and may lead a combination from any category.
Eventually the players will run out of cards in their hands. A player who has no cards takes no further part in the play, but play continues between the remaining players, until only one player has cards left. The players with no cards simply miss their turns. If a player with no cards is due to lead, having just won a trick by playing their last card(s), the lead passes to the next player to the right who has cards. When only one player has cards left, the trick in progress is completed - i.e. that last player is allowed to beat the combination played by the second last player left in if able to - and is gathered by the winner of the trick as normal.
The player who runs out of cards first has an advantage in the scoring, and the last player who has cards left is at a disadvantage. Before the scoring, all the cards in the tricks taken by the last player, and all the cards remaining in the last player's hand at the end, must be given to the first player and added to that player's tricks.
Each player then counts the the total value of card in their tricks (10 for each king or ten, and 5 for each five) and adds it to their score. The player who came last will of course score nothing. There is a total of 100 points to be scored on each hand. If someone has reached or gone above the target figure the game ends and the player with the highest score wins.
The player who came last in the previous hand shuffles. The player who came first takes the first card in the deal, and it continues anticlockwise. The player who came first in the previous hand also leads to the first trick (rather than the holder of the 
3).
The possible card combinations are given below. Note that a combination can only be beaten by a higher combination of the same category, or by a combination from the special category J.
The general ranking of the cards, from low to high, is:
3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - J - Q - K - A - 2 - small joker - big joker
This ranking is used both to determine which cards beat which others, and which cards are in sequence.
A-2)
J-Q-K-A-2). The rank is determined by the highest card in the sequence. If these are equal, the longer sequence beats the shorter. So 
7-8-9-10-J can be beaten by 8-9-10-J-Q, which in turn can be beaten by 7-8-9-10-J-Q.
In categories B to I, jokers are wild - that is a joker can be used as a substitute to represent any card needed to make the combination (or two jokers can be used to represent two such cards). In category A (single cards) jokers are themselves - the highest two cards in the ranking. In category J (special) jokers cannot be used as substitutes - the cards must be real.
Note that there is no suit ranking, and that certain cards and combinations are therefore equal in rank. To play to a trick, it is necessary to play higher than the previous combination. Therefore between two equal combinations, whichever is played first to a trick prevents the other one from being played to the same trick.
When a joker is used as a substitute it has exactly the same rank as the card it represents. So for example the triple 8-8-8 has exactly the same rank as 8-joker-joker. Neither can be played to beat the other. The same is true of full houses: for example 9-joker-joker-3-6 is equal in rank to 9-9-9-A-A.
Note that jokers have zero scoring value, even if they were used to substitute for a king, ten or five in the play.
