Welcome to Big 2 ♠️

Welcome to Big 2 where the goal is to get rid of all your cards before your opponents do.

Played with 4 players and a deck of 52 cards, Big 2 is a game where the deuce reigns supreme.

Game Play

The game begins by each player being dealt 13 cards.

The player who has the 3♣️ plays first. This player becomes the lead player and can choose to play a single card, a pair of cards or a poker hand as long as the 3♣️ is played.

The next player must play a card or set of cards in the same category as the lead player (Singles, Pairs, or Poker hands). Their play must be of higher value than the previous one.

If they cannot or choose not to play for strategic reasons, they may pass their turn to the next player.

In the order of most valuable to least valuable, Spades ♠️, Hearts ❤️, Diamonds ♦️ and Clubs ♣️.

Number Value

In the order of most valuable to least valuable, 2, A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8,7 ,6 ,5 ,4 and 3

Once all players have taken their turn, the lead passes to the last player who played any cards. That player now becomes the lead and may play any cards from their hand. The category—whether Singles, Pairs, or Poker hands—is determined by the cards they choose to play at that moment.

This cycle repeats until a player plays their final card, ending the round.

Keeping Score

At the end of each round, the remaining cards in each player's hand are counted as their score for that round. The game continues until a player reaches a total of 25 points, at which point the player with the lowest score wins.

The most important thing to remember: Have fun!
