Rule highlights
Setup, play, winning, and house rules
Setup
- Two to eight players. The deck holds four suits, 1 through 13, no jokers — 52 cards.
- Each hand, everyone gets one card. You cannot see your own card, but everyone else can.
- Strength is by rank only (suit doesn't matter). Ace is the highest card by default — a party setting can make it the lowest instead.
How to play
- Once dealt, everyone antes the same amount into the pot.
- Starting with the player after the dealer, each player picks check (only while no one has bet yet), fold, bet/call, or raise.
- The smallest bet is the ante. A raise must be at least as big as the last bet or raise (you can always go all-in if you are short).
- Betting continues until everyone still in has matched the current bet, or only one player is left.
- You never see your own card during the hand — the only clues are the cards you see and how everyone bets.
Winning
- Everyone who didn't fold reveals their card, and the highest card wins the whole pot.
- A tie splits the pot.
- If you go all-in for less than someone else bet, you can only win up to what you put in. Any amount no one matched goes back to the player who bet it.
- After the set number of hands (10 by default), whoever has the most chips wins. Running out of chips ends your part in the match.
- Chips only ever exist inside the game — no real money changes hands.
