nobu 99 Capsa Susun - Card Game Rules & Strategy

Capsa Susun rules and hand arrangement

Capsa Susun is played with a standard 52-card deck. Each player receives five cards and must arrange them into three separate hands: a two-card hand (called the "front"), a three-card hand (called the "middle"), and a five-card hand (called the "back"). The ranking of each hand follows standard poker rules—pairs, three-of-a-kind, straights, flushes, and full houses are ranked from lowest to highest.

The key strategic element is hand arrangement. You must place your strongest hand in the back (five cards), a medium-strength hand in the middle (three cards), and your weakest hand in the front (two cards). If you arrange your hands incorrectly—for example, placing a stronger hand in the front than in the middle—you automatically lose that round, regardless of what your opponents hold. This rule is called "fouling," and it's a critical penalty in Capsa Susun.

Once all players have arranged their hands, comparison begins. The front hands are compared first, then the middle hands, then the back hands. For each position, the player with the stronger hand wins that round. If you win all three positions, you win the entire game. If you win two positions, you win the majority. If you win one position, you lose overall. If you win zero positions, you lose decisively.

Front hand

Two cards arranged in the weakest position. Pairs are the strongest two-card hand; high cards are ranked by their face value.

Middle hand

Three cards arranged in the medium position. Three-of-a-kind is the strongest; straights and flushes are not valid in three-card hands.

Back hand

Five cards arranged in the strongest position. All standard poker hands apply: pairs, straights, flushes, full houses, four-of-a-kind, and straight flushes.

Fouling

Arranging hands so that the front is stronger than the middle, or the middle is stronger than the back. Fouling results in an automatic loss.
