Chinese Poker
Arrange thirteen cards into three ordered hands.
How to play
- 01
Deal 13 private cards each. Arrange a five-card back, five-card middle and three-card front.
- 02
Back must be at least as strong as middle, and middle must be at least as strong as front. Front recognizes only trips, pair and high card; no front straights or flushes.
- 03
Reveal together. Compare corresponding rows with standard poker ranks and kickers. Award one game point for each row won, zero for a tied row.
- 04
More row points wins. A valid layout beats a fouled one; both fouled layouts replay. Club quick play has no royalties, scoop bonuses or special automatic hands.
Equal row totals push; replay.
Standard five-card high-poker rankings
Royal flush → straight flush → four of a kind → full house → flush → straight → three of a kind → two pair → one pair → high card.
Compare the rank of the made combination first, then kickers from highest downward. Suits are equal. Aces can be high or low in a straight, but cannot wrap around. Short Deck, lowball, Three Card Poker, Four Card Poker and Poker Dice use their own rankings.
AFTER THE GAME
Cards down. Phones up.
The winner proposes the agreed collaboration share on the loser’s first qualifying prospect. Both call counters start at zero. The loser can cancel the proposed split by completing the agreed redemption challenge before its cutoff. The actual work and contribution still determine earned credit.
