Big2 Poker brings the classic Big 2 card game to your iPhone or iPod Touch.
Big2 is extremely popular across Asia and is known by many names, including Big Deuce, Chinese Poker, Big Two, Thirteen, Killer, Da Lao Er 大老二 (Mandarin Chinese), Choh Dai Di, Dai Di, and Pusoy Dos (a Philippine variant of the game). The object of the game is to be the first to get rid of all of your cards by strategically playing them in various poker style combinations.
Big2 is a card game similar to A$$hole, Crazy Eights, Bullsh*t, and Winner as the object is to be the first player to discard all of his or her cards. It is believed that this signature “climbing” game probably originated in coastal China around 1980. It has since become very popular in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Philippines, Singapore and in a number of western countries with die hard cult followings in the US and Canada!

Pros and cons of Pusoy Dos aka Big 2 app for iPhone and iPad
Pusoy Dos aka Big 2 app good for
I dont understand why everyone always says it crashes. It hasnt even once for me! Well the majority must be right but mabye Im just lucky because I have tons of apps and they never crash!
Ive never played Big2 before this game but I have played some similar card games. It has really nice graphics and easy to understand instructions if youve never played before. Definitely worth buying.
I just got this app, and I must say its a neat work in progress. If you will read the description, theyre about to add a multiplayer feature will be a great plus, in short awesome.
Well I just tried this app, here are some of my comments:
-Main menu UI can be improved. You could select your card cover though so you wont get stuck with red only.
-Game play tends to be smooth, no crashes or anything like that. Fast loading.
-While youre playing, there is no background music yet or an option to play your own iPod music. There is a sound option though but its for the clicks and stuff like that. Im not quite into music but hey something that could stimulate your card play will be great right?
-Quite easy to beat (or I might be lucky) I just finished a round with winning successively. Haha Im great on pusoy (or again might be lucky)
So far this is one of the best Pusoy games out there. Definitely highly recommended. The developer has also promised updates to fix some of the issues noted and add a lot of surprise features (well multiplayer is not a surprise anymore) not just the music. For all of you Filipinos out there, Pusoy dos is definitely a plus for this app! Dont think about it, get it!
Ive been waiting for a big2 or pusoy dos game for the iphone for a while and finally managed to find one. The only issue I have is with the font, but I emailed the developers and they said it would all be fixed in first update. Aside from that, great time killer and way to revisit my high school days!
glad someone finally brought this game to the app store. another game on my iphone to lower my productivity. YES!
played this game all the time growing up as a kid. cant wait for the multiplayer capability update.
Its really fun. I played a few games but it crashes and glitches a lot. We need an update. And I got this game when it was free.
Some bad moments
Agreed always crashes. And the writing and interface is crap hard to read. When I sent u an email regarding ur product u told me u fixed the problem or u didnt experience a problem. However it seems to be worse then before. DO NOT BUY UNLESS THEY UPDATE IT!!!!!
UPDATE -- Still crashes guys!
Besides the fact that this crashes everytime you hit "play", this game has potential. Please, please, also change the interface --it is ugly as sin. We get that asians play this game, we dont need the ugly faux-asian style. Im chinese and I think it looks terrible!
Even with the 1.1 update, its still crashing. Poor debugging effort.
Read the reviews, great idea, fun game, havent finished 1 complete game cuz it crashes everytime. Annoying!
I finaly have my phone back as this game did nothing but crash my phone time and time again!!!
Not only is the AI dumb (first play of the match computer play two 2s) This app turned my phone into a wonky crash machine...
Save time and heart ache wait for them to fix the buggs
➲ looks like they ditched this app. Not worth anything unless they update it.
