The Game

Originating in Hong Kong, Big Two is a strategic trick-taking card game that demands well-timed plays and tactical foresight. Players take turns playing valid cards or combinations (tricks) from their hands, aiming to be the first to empty their hand or to have the fewest cards when another player finishes. While the game has evolved into many variations, this competition will play the vanilla version with four players and the rules outlined below.
