How to play
- 01
Use the 5-back, 5-middle, 3-front layout. Deal five initial cards each and place them face up permanently.
- 02
On each of the next four turns, deal three cards to each challenger. Each places two and discards one face down.
- 03
After 13 cards have been placed, check that back ≥ middle ≥ front. A valid layout beats a fouled one; two fouls push.
- 04
Compare corresponding rows, awarding one game point for each row won. The club version excludes royalties, Fantasyland, scoops and automatic hands.
Equal 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.
