TOP DEFINITION
To be honest and not hide anything. It comes from the Afrikaans "oop kaarte speel." If you play open cards, you're laying out all your information openly, like showing all your cards in a game. In conversation it means being transparent or candid.
"Let me play open cards with you: we can't afford to give everyone bonuses this year, so I'm telling you directly rather than keeping you guessing."
