Apps: If you want to test your skills without risking any money, and have a tablet or a smartphone on hand, then there are a number of apps for both Android and Apple Operating Systems. One of the best is an app on the iTunes store that is developed by Advantapp and is listed under Open Face Chinese Poker. If you use Android devices, then an app of the same name by The Golden Club is well worth checking out. There are single-player games out there, games where you can play with your friends and games where you can play online, and these provide a casual introduction to the basics of OFC. 

Fantasy Land: One of the key aspects of OFC is Fantasy Land, which the player can “enter” if they achieve a certain hand configuration. If achieved, this can turn any game into the player’s favour and can give opponents a severe handicap for as long as the player remains in Fantasy Land. To learn all about this, along with the cards needed to achieve it, check out this link.

Pokerstars: At the time of writing, Pokerstars — which is the biggest online poker game — does not have any OFC games available but that could change because it certainly acknowledges how popular it is becoming. Many of the Pokerstars’ Pros have adopted the game and this article interviews some of them.
