Ultimate Bastard Dai Di

This post is exclusively done due to special request (you know who you are) :D


Huat ah!
If you don't know how to play / what is Dai Di ( 大老二 ), you can read it up at Wikipedia :D


Typical Dai Di

  • 3 Players = Each Player takes 17 cards. 
    • The person with ♦3 will take the last covered card in the middle.
  • 4 Players = Each Player takes 12 cards.
  • For the first round, the player with  ♦3 will start first.
    Subsequently, either the player with  ♦3 continues to start first, or the winner will start first. This depends on your peers as rules are ultimately a democratic agreement.

2 Players Variation

  • 17 / 12 Cards
    • Split the cards to 3x17 piles or 4x12 piles. Choose the lucky pile! :P
  • 26 Cards
    • I doubt other people ever plays this, because it's lame! You know EXACTLY what your opponent has, cause whatever you don't see, it's with him/her!
    • Personally I only ever tried the 26 Cards with one person before (Shunhua where are you T_T) We even made up our own rule... Straight pairs! It's a new 10 card rule whereby you can put 5 pairs in a go (e.g. 4 5 6 7 8 pair). With that you can even play Royal Flush Pairs!

Ultimate Bastard Dai Di

I am sure there are times whereby 5 or even 6 players wanna play and there's only have 1 deck of cards. 
Normally in this case people will play something else like Ban Luck, or rotatational basis.

Not anymore!
My version can accomodate 3 - 6 players ^__^v

Versions

  • 3 Players
    • King, Civilian, Ultimate Bastard
    • Typical 3 player way of card distribution
  • 4 Players
    • King, Queen, Bastard, Ultimate Bastard
    • Typical 4 player way of card distribution
  • 5 Players
    • King, Queen, Civilian, Bastard, Ultimate Bastard
    • Just divide by 5 la. 分给 winner 先
  • 6 Players
    • King, Queen, Civilian 1, Civilian 2, Bastard, Ultimate Bastard
    • Just divide by 6 la.  分给 winner 先

Concept

  • King
    • Gives 2 worst cards to Ultimate Bastard
  • Queen
    • Gives 2 worst cards to Bastard
  • Civilian
    • Just play normally
  • Bastard
    • Gives 2 best cards to Queen
  • Ultimate Bastard
    • Gives 2 best cards to King

How to play?

Just play normally for the first round.
First person to finish by clearing all cards on hand will be the King.
The game will continue as ranks need to be assigned.
Subsequent persons to clear will take the next rank until everyone has been assigned a rank.

Although it sounds like being a Bastard / Ultimate Bastard sucks, you'll be surprised how the game will turn out.
It feels GEWD to clear the game first as a Bastard / Ultimate Bastard, and be the King for the next round =D

Have fun! ^__^
