El Comi’s Dompe: a free six-card card game
Draw a card, dump a card, and be the first to lay down a winning six-card hand. Play at a table of two to seven players with a 53-card deck and a wild Joker, for free, on your phone or computer.
Play money only. No prizes. 18+ only.
What is Dompe?
El Comi’s Dompe is a free-to-play table card game for adults. Everyone gets five cards, and on your turn you draw and dump one card, always holding six for a moment. The winning hands need all six cards: El Comi (four of a kind plus a pair), a six-card straight flush, a six-card flush, a six-card straight, or three pair. The Joker is fully wild and fills any gap.
You play with play-money chips against computer players or at live tables with other people. Chips have no cash value and never cash out, and nothing in the game carries a prize.
How to play in 3 steps
- Get your cards. Everyone is dealt five cards. The first player to the right of the dealer gets six, checks for a win, and dumps one card face up.
- Draw and dump. On your turn, take the card that was just dumped or draw from the deck. Check your six cards. No win? Dump one card.
- Lay it down. The first player to complete a winning six-card hand lays it down and takes the pot. Once per hand, on your own turn, you may make one bet.
The details are on the How to play page and in the full rules.
