망통 Sum = 0 · you pay double

Pairs beat everything. Numbers beat nothing that pairs.

SCORING YOUR HAND

No pair? Add the two month numbers. Take the last digit only.

7 + 5 = 12 → 2

9 + 6 = 15 → 5

6 + 4 = 10 → 0 = 망통

9 + 10 = 19 → 9 = 구

Higher last digit wins. 9 is the best score. 0 (망통) means automatic double loss.

THE BET

FOLD early — lose only the ante. Stay in — risk everything. Got 망통? Folding is smart.

섰다! SUTDA!

Before the reveal, hit 섰다! to stand up — the pot doubles instantly.

Your opponent can 섰다 too. High confidence + strong hand = the right time. 망통 = never do this.

Each round: both players ante 1 pt into the pot. Win the round, take the pot. The dealer role alternates every round.
