Ocean's Eleven

A simple push-your-luck duel.

Players: 2.
1 deck per player.
Game by Eliott Adkins.
  • Each Player takes a Deck of Cards.
  • Each duel:
    1. Both players start by flipping a card.
    2. Each player forms the best poker-hand they can from their flipped cards.
    3. 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.
