It is cap sa in Hokkien, 十三, meaning 'thirteen' (coming from the number of cards dealt to each player), a name is commonly used in Indonesia. In Mandarin Chinese it is 大老二, pinyin: dà lǎo èr in Cantonese, 鋤大弟, sho tai ti (among other transliterations, including chor dai di, and rendered in jyutping tonal notation as co 4 daai 6 di 2), or simply dai di. This card game has many other names, including big deuce and top dog. The objective of the game is to be the first to play off all of one's cards. It is usually played with two to four players, the entire deck being dealt out in either case (or sometimes with only 13 cards per player, if there are fewer than four players). It is played both casually and as a gambling game.

The game is very popular in East Asia and in Southeast Asia (due to overseas Chinese influence), especially throughout mainland China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Macau, Taiwan, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore. It is similar to the games of Zheng Shangyou, daifugō, president, crazy eights, cheat, and other shedding games.
