Print Shop

Unroll a print: the 9-card Tianjin set

A Yangliuqing New Year print shop is about to open. Unroll prints with jianbing tickets you earn by playing; each print joins your collection and comes with a cosmetic — car paint, outfits, a Tianjin-dialect horn, titles, name cards, emotes. No stat boosts.

  • Tickets are earned by playing only: first match of the day, daily tasks, weekly ranks, faction wins, 5 for linking an account.
  • A Fine item at least every 10 prints, a Treasure at least every 40; duplicates turn into paint you can trade for a chosen item.
  • Cosmetics only. Nothing is sold, traded or cashed out.
  • Odds and pity rules are published; every unroll is logged on the server for at least 90 days.

FAQ

Before you ask

Do I need to download anything?

No. Tap "Play now" and it runs in your browser. The first load takes a moment; after that it starts much faster.

Do I need an account?

No. You play as a guest and progress is saved in your browser. Link a passkey or email inside the game when you want cloud saves, leaderboards or the Print Shop.

Does it work on phones?

Yes — iPhone and Android browsers with touch controls. Portrait is fully playable; landscape feels best. On desktop use keyboard and mouse. Graphics quality is adjustable in settings.

Is this GTA?

No. Tianjin GTA is an independent browser game that plays a bit like GTA. It is not affiliated with Rockstar Games or Take-Two.

Is it free?

Yes. Even the Print Shop tickets can only be earned by playing — they are never sold.

How does multiplayer work?

Pick "Multiplayer" on the title menu, create or join a room, and copy the invite link for friends. Bots fill any empty slots.

What does "beta" mean here?

The game is updating fast. Expect bugs, and save formats may change. Feedback is welcome.
