Lexio

Lexio turns the climbing-card tradition behind Big Two into a substantial tile game. Players receive numbered tiles in four ranked suits and take turns following the current combination with the same number of tiles at a higher value. A lead may be a single, pair, triple, or five-tile poker-style hand; four-tile plays are deliberately excluded. Passing does not remove a player from the trick, and once everyone else passes, the last player to have played becomes the new leader and may choose any combination. The first player to empty their rack ends the round, then chips move between every pair of players according to finishing position, tiles remaining, and dangerous number-two tiles still held. Across five rounds, timing the strongest tiles matters as much as building elegant hands.
