How to Play
The game begins with the Dealer shaking three dice to determine the dealing location of the first set of seven cards. The Dealer provides each Player and himself with seven cards from a 53-card deck (one Joker is used) that are dealt face downwards. The object of the game is to make the best two-card and five-card poker hands that will beat the dealers two-card and five-card hands. The five-card must always be a higher ranking value than the two-card hand.
