bigtwo
Big Two (also known as various other names) is a climbing card game of Cantonese origin. The objective of the game is to be the first to play off all of one's cards.
Cards may be played as singles or in groups of two, three or five, in combinations which resemble poker hands. The leading card to a trick sets down the number of cards to be played; all the cards of a trick must contain the same number of cards. The highest ranking card is 2 instead of A.
