How to play Chinese Poker
- 1Everyone gets 13 cards and splits them into three poker hands at once: a back row of five, a middle row of five and a front row of three. There’s no betting and no drawing; how you set your cards is the whole game.
- 2Your back row must be at least as strong as your middle row, and your middle row at least as strong as your front row. You can’t set your rows until they’re in that order.
- 3Hands rank as in poker: straight flush, four of a kind, full house, flush, straight, three of a kind, two pair, pair, high card. Aces are high, and A-2-3-4-5 counts as a straight. The front row of three can only make three of a kind, a pair or high card.
- 4Once everyone has set, all rows turn face up and every player is compared with every other, row by row. Each row you win against someone is worth a point from them. Win all three rows against someone and they pay 3 more.
- 5The game lasts 6 hands. The most points at the end wins.
