Big Brother 2

Big Brother 2

A pixel-art card game based on Big Two, the wildly popular Taiwanese card game. Play against three AI opponents in this fast-paced trick-shedding game where the goal is simple: be the first to empty your hand.

How to Play

• Card Ranking: 3 (lowest) through A, then 2 (highest)
• Suit Ranking: Diamond < Club < Heart < Spade
• 2 of Spades is the single most powerful card in the game

Play singles, pairs, triples, or five-card poker hands (Straight, Flush, Full House, Four-of-a-Kind, Straight Flush). Beat the current play with a stronger combo of the same size, or pass. When three players pass, the last player leads freely.

Scoring

• Each remaining card = 1 penalty point
• 10-12 cards remaining = 2 points per card
• 13 cards (never played) = 39 points
• First player to reach 100 points loses
• Lowest score wins the session

Features

• Strategic AI opponents that decompose hands, track cards, and adapt to endgame pressure
• Pixel-art card sprites and retro chiptune soundtrack
• CRT scanline overlay and animated WebGL background
• Sort your hand by rank or suit
• Full scoring with session scorecard
• Special "Big Brother!" screen shake when anyone plays the 2 of Spades
• Built-in rules reference

Controls

• Click cards to select/deselect them
• PLAY to play your selected combo
• PASS to skip your turn
• CLEAR to deselect all cards
• BY RANK / BY SUIT to sort your hand
