How to play
Everyone gets the same card and places it in their own five-by-five grid. When the grid is full, every row, column and diagonal is a poker hand. The best hand takes the line.
- Everyone has their own grid of 5 × 5 squares, hidden from the others.
- Each turn a card is turned. Everyone places that same card on an empty square of their grid at the same time. A placed card never moves.
- After 25 cards the grid is full. Its five rows, five columns and two diagonals are then twelve five-card poker hands.
- Win the lines: whoever has the best hand in a line scores a point (a tie scores for both). Suits never break a tie, higher cards do. The ace is high, but 5-4-3-2-A is a straight too.
- Secret task: at the start you choose one of two tasks. Do it and score 1 or 2 more points.
- Most points wins. On a tie, whoever has the best hand of the game wins.
- Special cards: Fork shows two cards and you choose which to place. Dark card gives everyone their own card that the others see only at the end. Storm shows a card that may not go into one corner (nine squares) while there is room elsewhere.
- Alone, or with "Points per hand", every line scores: pair 1, two pair 2, three of a kind 3, straight 5, flush 6, full house 8, four of a kind 10, straight flush 12.
