WY: The game is called ‘battling the landlord’. Two people play against one. So now we see the first national doudizhou contest. It is hosted by China’s general administration of sport. The winner could get as much as 5 million Yuan as a reward. And players can also gain points that will form the basis of the national ranking of ‘landlord poker’ players. Anyone can apply for it, and everyone can play in the competition for free. LW: How does it work? Tell us a little bit about it, I know tat Nick id dying to know. NL: 5 Million? I’ll give it a go! WY: It usually consists of three players; one being the landlord and the other being the peasants. So the peasants play in a team against the landlord. And any player that feels confident in his cards can claim to be the landlord in the beginning and then receive three extra cards. In China this game is very popular online. So many people would just play it online. The number is quite astonishing. More than ten million people play the game online, monthly. LW: Do you play poker Nick? NL: I am not a very talented poker player unfortunately. LW: Do you play any sort of card games in general? WY: Or Chinese Mahjong? NL: I have played that. I learned how to play it once, but I’m not sure I’d remember the rules if we had to play it now. WY: There is a Mahjong international league in Europe. They’ve hosted over 2000 competitions. LW: I’m a big fan of Chinese chess. You have the little compound and then you have to cross the river and do all sorts of crazy stuff. I’ve subsequently forgotten how to play because if you don’t play often, I think it kind of loses you. WY: Sometimes if you see in the park, there are senior people playing that and you can practice there. There are rounds of people usually there giving suggestions. LW: I’ve won before when there were old Chinese men involved, and I won but I didn’t touch any of my pieces, they just move it for you. People say I’ve played really well, and I’m like “I haven’t played at all”. NL: A lot of people have different rules as well. I know people in different parts of China have different riles for the game as well. No one know how to play against each other so I think you have some lee-way. WY: The authorities have also published a set of rules and regulations for the players. LW: It’s interesting. I’ll keep an eye on it. Now that I know that there is something at stake, You-You you’ll have to take me aside and show me. WY: 50% of your stake. LW: Really? 50%? NL: These negotiations can take place outside the studio. LW: I’ll give you 30% if I win it!
