Big Two (鋤大弟) — the Hong Kong climbing card game, with the look and feel of the 1999 handheld classic. A green table, a flat grey title bar, terse prompts, and three computer players who play the way the original bots did: they keep their pairs and straights together, lead five-card hands first, and spend their big cards only when someone is about to go out. • Classic rules: the 3 of diamonds leads; play singles, pairs, triples or five-card hands; the 2 of spades is the highest card. • Straights from A2345 to TJQKA. Five-card hands rank, lowest first: straight, flush, full house, four of a kind, straight flush. • Classic scoring: every card left in your hand costs its rank, doubled at ten cards or more, and the winner collects it all. Ten deals to a game. • Hong Kong rule set: the last deal's winner leads, and 23456 becomes the biggest straight. • Two kinds of opponent: Classic bots play like the original and leave each other's high cards alone; Strong bots read only their own hand and fight every seat. • Name the players yourself, or keep the names that come with your language. • Autopass, sort by rank or by suit, long-press a card to pick its whole rank, double-tap for its whole suit. • Copy the game history to paste anywhere. • Seven languages: English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Indonesian, Filipino, Malay and Vietnamese. No ads, no accounts, no tracking — the app collects no data at all. Free and open source (MIT license). I will not play with real money.

Version 1.2 • Game History keeps the whole game: the four hands as dealt, then every play and pass • Your last 20 games stay on the device — the game on the table reads "This game" • Page back and forward through them one game at a time • Copy the game on screen, or Export it as a text file to share • Source moved out of Preferences and into About • Strong bots now plan the fewest plays that empty the hand, and hold their control cards
