How to play Pusoy Dos

  1. Deal. All 52 cards are dealt, 13 to each of the four players.
  2. Open with the 3♣. Whoever holds the three of clubs starts, and their first play must include it.
  3. Beat or pass. Each player in turn plays a stronger single, pair, three of a kind or five-card hand with the same number of cards, or passes.
  4. Take control. When everyone else passes, the last player to play clears the table and leads anything.
  5. Win. The first player to get rid of all 13 cards wins. The others lose points for each card left.

The Filipino rules on this table

Suits rank Clubs, Spades, Hearts, Diamonds from lowest to highest, so the 2♦ is the strongest card in the game and the 3♣ the weakest. Your hand is sorted in that order too.

Flushes are compared by suit first: any Diamond flush beats any Heart flush, whatever the cards. Two flushes of the same suit are compared by their highest card. Every other rule (card ranks, the five-card hands, passing, winning) is the same as Big 2, and your games count towards your Big 2 stats.

Pusoy Dos is not the same game as Pusoy, the Filipino name for Chinese Poker, where you arrange 13 cards into three poker hands.
