Pusoy Go

Pusoy Go is Jili's solo digital version of the Filipino card-clearing game, which is popular in other countries as Big Two. A round is played by holding a 13-card hand and then playing singles, pairs or larger combinations that beat the previous combination played, until you have no cards left in your hand before the two computer hands do.

Jili automates the deal and both opposing hands, a round requiring four people at a physical table can be resolved in less than a minute.

What Is Pusoy Go?

Pusoy Go is Jili's card-game version of the card-clearing game Pusoy, which is similar to Big Two.

There are three things that remain the same from tabletop Pusoy:

• Deck and deal: a standard 52-card deck dealt out totally, 13 cards to each of four hands.
• Opponents: two Jili-controlled hands instead of human players.
• Object: to be first to play all cards in hand in a sequence of beats.

Pusoy is a popular family game throughout the Philippines, and Jili created Pusoy Go for those who want to experience that same card-beating action without having to find three other people to play with — the “Go” in the name isn't a rule change, but a quick-playing format that doesn't require 3 other people to sit at the table.

If you already play JDB's Pusoy, Tongits, or the faster-paced Pusoy Rush, Pusoy Go's combination-beating rules will already be familiar. Jili's Tongits Go is also on okgames.ph, for a rummy-style alternative.

How Do You Play Pusoy Go?

In each round, you and your opponents receive a complete 13-card hand, and the first player to empty his/her hand by making legal moves wins the round.

1. The player with the starting card (usually the three of clubs) plays first, starting with one card, a pair or a valid larger combination.
2. On each subsequent turn, play a hand that is a mix of the type of hand you beat on the previous turn, or pass if you cannot or do not wish to beat your previous hand.
3. If you miss, you don't get eliminated from the round, just wait for the next combination type you can beat.
4. Play goes around the table until the last hand has played its last card, at which point play stops.
5. Unlike Tongits, there is no separate scoring step, just the win condition of finishing first.

Hand rankings are the standard Big Two rankings: singles and pairs are ranked by card and then by suit; three-of-a-kind and five-card hands are ranked by the type of hand they are beating. Jili's version does all this automatically, and an illegal play simply isn't offered as an option.

What Are the Best Tips for Winning at Pusoy Go?

The most effective method to improve your outcomes in Pusoy Go is to hold your best combos back and not play them as soon as they're available:

• Pairs and high singles should be saved for later in the round as they are more likely to be used to force a pass than to open the round.
• Keeping track of which combination types have been played to get a sense of what your opponents may have still left.
• Clear low, isolated single cards early as they seldom beat anything after the round is started.
• Decide early on whether your hand is suited for a quick finish or a longer round and stick to that plan and not change during the round.
• Before you begin, set a stop point (number of rounds or number of wins) as digital rounds fly by.

What Mistakes Should You Avoid When Playing Pusoy Go?

The most frequently seen error in Pusoy Go is when someone plays a good combination too early, rather than when it is most important:

• A pair or run on the first few turns when a smaller combination would have sufficed.
• Not keeping track of what combinations are no longer in play and then incorrectly determining what is still in play in an opponent's hand.
• Keeping low singles that are scattered and not clearing them when there is no strategic reason not to.
• Passing out of habit rather than testing to see if a weaker combination in hand can still win the exchange.
