13 is a translated name for american ppl
it orignated from vietnamese it such a popular game that almost 50% of students at school know how to play it
what sux is that no-viet ppl make up a lot of dumb rule to it...
for instancce knock???
everytime i play this game so ppl just make the werid rule ever and it just make me mad.

i play. im pretty good at that game :) heh theres a move i called bomb when someone throws down a deux and u have 3 consecutive pairs u can throw it down.

Umm, I might've, but called differently...
Can you explain it?

lol i would type out the name if i knew how to spell in viet. 52 cards are divided between 4 ppeople. Need to remember that hearts>diamonds>clubs>spades. Highest value card in the game is deux of hearts. In the first round whoever has the 3 of spades goes first. You can throw down any card u want but its best to get rid of low cards especailly ones that cant be a combo. Next person goes and try to beat the card. And it contiunes. If at one point no one cant beat yur card and its yur turn again, u can throw down mulitple cards. either pairs, 3 of a kind, 4 of a kind and consecutive (3,4,5 or 9,10,J etc. i has to be at least 3 cards.) after that the next person has to try and beat that. remember to pay atterntion to the suits. First person to get rid their entire hand wins. The explantion is kinda vague but u get the point

2>A>K>Q>J>10>9>8>7>6>5>4>3>
Hearts>Diamonds>Clubs>Spades

It originated from the Vietnamese?

I play by the main rules.. or at least the rules that I've always always used.

Automatic wins with ALL FOUR 2's and SIX pairs.

Hearts > Diamonds > Clubs > Spades

2 > A > K > Q > J > 10 > 9 > 8 > 7 > 6 > 5 > 4 > 3 > 2

Uhm. Straights are three cards or greater. Once you pass you can't wait for it to go around to beat it.

yup it a viet game 100%
it suppose to call
"tien len" with viet accent/sybol on it
and t o tranlate correctly it call "go foward" which mean u put all ur card down.

Meh, I didn't know it was Vietnamese. I know a bunch of other card games that are wayyyyyyyyy similar to it that I don't think are Vietnamese..

i never heard of it, i think it looks pretty complicated.

yea thats the viet name i was thinkin of>

never played it, never heard of it, it sounds so blah

ughh i hate that game. its boring as hell.

and you need to learn some english/grammar. Yours is horrible.

LOL.... it's a vietnamese game? i didn't know that.... lol..........

anyways yes, i know that game. i played that game with my vietnamese friends during school lunches.

I doooo
and loving it

well at least it kill times

wow. Never heard of it. learn something new everyday..

yeahh ive played it. but at my school we have two versions. one`s called Big 2 and the other is Big2 viet its the same as 13 except it doesnt have to have four people it can also be called 13 but on rare occasion. to me, 13 is much more fun to play than Big2
