Daifugō

Daifugō (大富豪, Grand Millionaire, Very Rich Man), Daihinmin (大貧民, Grand Pauper), Fool, or Tycoon, is a Japanese shedding-typecard game for three or more players, played with a standard 52-card pack. The objective of the game is to get rid of all the cards one has as fast as possible by playing progressively stronger cards than those of the previous player. The winner is called the daifugō (the grand millionaire), earning various advantages in the next round, and the last person is called the daihinmin (the grand pauper). In the following round, winners can exchange one or more of their unnecessary cards for advantageous ones that losers have.
The game is very similar to the Hong Kong climbing card game Big Two, the Chinese game Zheng Shangyou, the Vietnamese game Tien Len, and Western card games like President and The Great Dalmuti. Like those other games, there are many variations and rules.
