Deuces or as some people call it, big two/thirteen; what a fun game to play right? There are many types of ways you could play it, the types are Chinese, Vietnamese, and ... Well I only know two so thats about it so far. Feel free to leave a comment or so explaining more about this game. Oh yeah forgot to tell you the one thing that is essential to this whole game. Your wondering what type of game this is? Well its a card game and can be up to two through four players. It's actually pretty fun to play this card game once you get the jest of it and understand how to play.
This game is pretty simple, each player gets thirteen cards, and mostly be the first one to win the game by having no cards left. You play by placing down cards that are higher than the last person who placed it, and repeat the steps over again until the first one use up all their cards win. The order of the cards from lowest to highest are three, four, five... etc to jack, queen, king, ace, and two. Two is the highest of all cards, and whoever have the lowest three starts first of the game.
In Viet. style of deuces, the suites from lowest to highest are spades, clubs, diamonds, and hearts. You can play doubles, triples, or four of a kind if you have the same number. You can also place a straight if your numbers are in order like three, four, five, and etc. up to ace. The lowest straight you can go is with three cards, and if your lucky and have all the numbers to three up to ace that's called a dragon. If someone place a two you could "chop," as in placing a higher set of cards, if you have four kinds of card or three doubles in order. For example having four of a kind like four seven or any other number could chop the two. Having three doubles like two three, two four, and two five could also chop the single two, but if the player place two twos then you have to have five doubles in order to beat it.
Next is the Chinese style of playing deuces. Its a bit different compare to the Viet. style with the different suites and the five card limit. The lowest suites to highest are diamond, clubs, hearts, and spades. With the five card limit, well the name tells you itself that you can only place five cards which is the limit and nothing over it. You can only play five cards straight from numbers order, instead of having three card straight like Viet. Another five card limit is having three of a kind and one pair called, full house, or four of a kind with one card. A flush is any five cards of the same suit, but not in a sequence. A straight flush is having the same straight and same suites, which is the highest five card limit you can play.
That's about it on all I know about this game, so sorry if anything is confusing or just bad grammar, because I rushed through this blog
