Pai gow ( / p aɪ ˈ ɡ aʊ/ py GOW Chinese: 牌九 Jyutping: paai 4 gau 2 ) is a Chinese gambling game, played with a set of 32 Chinese dominoes. The Gee Joon ('Supreme') tiles, lower right, are not matching but rank as the highest pair overall.
Below them are five non-matching pairs, worth less than the matching pairs, and also in descending value from left to right. The top two rows of tiles show the eleven matching pairs, in descending value from left to right.
For the card game loosely based on it, see Pai gow poker. This article is about the game of dominoes.
