Public information shows that Guandan is a puzzle poker game originating from Huai'an, Jiangsu Province. It evolved from the previously popular nationwide games of "run fast" and "80 points", and the game is played in pairs with four players, with win win upgrades. After years of development, it is currently popular in Jiangsu and Anhui regions and rapidly spreading throughout the country.
In order to meet the needs of the public, the Chess and Card Center of the General Administration of Sport has piloted the competitive egg throwing project, explicitly stating that "the egg throwing project will be gradually guided and standardized according to the goal of becoming a formal sports event".
In June 2022, the Chess and Card Center of the General Administration of Sport pointed out in a public document that Guandan has strong entertainment, participation, viewing, scientific and competitive qualities, which can improve people's memory, judgment, analysis, and cooperation awareness. Due to its simplicity, easy to learn, suitable for all ages, and enjoyable for both body and mind, it is deeply loved by the public and has been popularized in many cities in recent years. With the popularization of Guandan, various sectors of society hope to have departments take the lead in organizing high-level competitions and unifying relevant rules.
Pengpai News has noticed that as of now, the Chess and Card Center of the General Administration of Sport has successively released multiple regulations for the competition of Guanpai, including the "Rules for Competitive Guanpai Poker Competition", "Guidelines for Organizing Guanpai Competitions", "Guidelines for Participating in Guanpai Competitions", "Management Measures for Guanpai Referees", and "Code of Conduct for Guanpai Competitions".
