The game reflecting the cruelty of the world - bloody big two

     The influence of the history can be found in our daily lives easily. 
The game today I want to introduce is an excellent example. Class conflict (階級鬥爭) big two is the way to let you experience the oppression between the ancient classes. 

     This is the advanced version of the big two. Each player can get a status after the first game. The winner is the king,  the second one is the nobility , and the third one will be the people,but the loser is destined to be slave.  After the cards are dealt , the player can use their privilege matching their status except for poor slave.
     
     The king has the chance to change the card with each player once.First, king can get a card from one player, and king can choose the card whatever he likes in his hands to give to the player.This will  maintain the king's dominance, so the king has more opportunity to win the game. The nobility also has the privilege to switch the card with the other two lower status player .The people can just change with the slave a time. Therefore, the game starts in a uneven way.The higher the status is, the more opportunity they can win. 
     The status will change after every game, the slave and people still have the chance to better their lives. Howerer, just like the history, the cruelty is often happening while the government is destroyed. The special rule in this game is that when the king is not the winner as usual then the king will become the slave to struggle, and the other status will raise up.

     I think this game will be a bad experience if you are always in the lower status.However, the high status also is afraid of losing their dominance,especially for the king. Every player has their own tragedy, and every player has to do their best in their status, I think this is the profound meaning that the creator want to express.
