For 2 or more players.
Standard deck of cards (without the Jokers).
Shuffle the cards and deal five cards to each player. Place the remaining cards face down in the middle of the table. Left of dealer goes first.
Each player looks at his cards and tries to make pairs, trebles or four of a kind. Players choose whether to discard any or none of the cards in their hand. Players that discard any cards, then draw the same number of cards from the top of the pile in the middle. Discarded cards are placed on the bottom of the pack.
Each player reveals his hand. The winner is the one with the highest hand after a single round and wins the number of points shown.
Four of a kind – 8 points
Full House (treble + pair) – 6 points
Treble (three of a kind) – 4 points
Two Pairs – 3 points
One Pair – 2 points
Junk – 0 points
If two players have equal hands then the higher ranked set wins e.g. a pair of sevens beat a pair of twos (ace is low).
At the end of each round, all hands are returned to the bottom of the pack, but not shuffled. The pack is not shuffled and the role of dealer passes to the left. The first player to 20 points wins the game.
