is the best card game EVER. Also known as Big Deuce, Big Two etc etc. If you're Hong Kong, Taiwan or just Chinese in general, you will probably be familiar with the rules and the concomitant excitement and exchange of profanities of the game.
The game requires four players, each with thirteen cards. Then you deal out singles, pairs, threes or fives depending on the combos (straight, straight flush, flush, royal flush, full house) in turn on to a common pile. Each combo/card that is dealt MUST be of a higher rank than the one before. If your cards happen to suck, then you have to pass the turn. The deuce of spades is highest card available so the game always starts with the person who is in possession of the diamond three. To win the game, only one players needs to get rid of all thirteen cards on your hand.
I played two hours straight of it with friends...even the Wii wasn't as interesting.
