Rules
The rules in practice
Set up a no-stakes table
Use 1 standard 52-card deck, 3 cards per player, and a paper scorecard. Try 3 to 6 players and rotate the dealer after each round.
A simple ten-round practice
Award 1 point to the stronger hand at each reveal, or split a tied round evenly. Write down whether A-2-3 or A-K-Q leads before dealing.
52 cards · 3 per hand
Six hand ranks
This guide defaults to A-2-3 above A-K-Q, following Pagat’s documented convention. Some tables reverse those two sequences. K-A-2 is invalid under either setting.
| Rank | Category | Example | Test |
|---|---|---|---|
| 06 | Trail / trio | Q♣ Q♦ Q♥ | Same rank × 3 |
| 05 | Pure sequence | A♠ 2♠ 3♠ | Consecutive, same suit |
| 04 | Sequence | A♠ 2♥ 3♦ | Consecutive, mixed suits |
| 03 | Colour / flush | A♦ 9♦ 4♦ | Same suit |
| 02 | Pair | K♣ K♦ 6♠ | Same rank × 2 |
| 01 | High card | A♣ 9♦ 4♠ | Compare ranks |
