At work we’ve been hooked on this card game we know as “pusoy dos”, the filipino/tagalog version of a poker-like card game that Wikipedia calls Big Two or Deuces or Thirteen. Pusoy dos is a lot like Othello — Minutes to learn; a lifetime to master!

The game is a mixture of poker with “war”-like elements. Each player gets 13 cards and you play poker-like hands. The object of the game is to get rid of your cards first. It’s a great 4-player card game that only takes maybe 5 minutes to play. If you and your friends are bored, this could be a good drinking game with lower stakes and more definitive opportunities for drinking than poker. For us, last place finish means you have to drink — although that’s just in theory, we don’t actually drink that much at work unless it’s a Friday afternoon. That’s when we break out the Jack.

Order of power (best to worst) — diamonds, hearts, spades, clubs

Ewok pointed me to this flash puzzle game where you try to pass lines through points in space by manipulating vertexes. Pretty neat.
