1 deck per player.
Game by Eliott Adkins.
- Each Player takes a Deck of Cards.
- Each duel:
- Both players start by flipping a card.
- Each player forms the best poker-hand they can from their flipped cards.
- The player with the worse poker hand chooses one of the following:
- Flip over another card. The duel then returns to step 2.
- Concede. The duel ends and the other player scores a point.
- First player to 6 points wins.
- Discard your cards between each duel. Never reshuffle. If your deck is out of cards, you have likely lost.
Three Player Variant
- Play to 4 points.
- Go around the table, taking turns flipping or conceding.
- Player with the best hand is the “poobah” and holds (skip them; they neither flip nor concede).
- (This method is easier than determining the worst hand after each flip.)
- A player wins a point when both others have conceded.
