What is Phom?
Phom, commonly known as Ta La, is a Rummy-style card game. It employs a conventional deck of cards with the goal of swapping cards in a hand to form card combinations or phoms while lowering the number of points remaining in the cards, not in any phoms. In Vietnam, especially in the northern areas, this card game is very popular.
