EXPLANATION
Poker is an eternal card game that requires skill and tactics. Arrange your cards in a way that forms "sets" (cards of the same rank) and "runs" (cards in sequential order and of the same suit) while minimizing the number of "deadwood" cards (cards that don't fit into sets or runs). The game concludes when a player reaches the target score, typically 100 points, creating a suspenseful competition to outsmart your opponent and emerge as the victor.
GUIDELINES
- Objective: Reduce the number of "deadwood" in your hand by creating sets and runs.
- Sets: Groups of cards with identical ranks (e.g., three 7s).
- Runs: Consecutive cards of the same suit (e.g., 4, 5, 6 of Hearts).
- Scoring:
- Add your opponent's remaining deadwood points to your own score.
- Knock or achieve "gin" (no deadwood) to maximize your points.
- Winning:
- The first player to reach or surpass 100 points wins the game.
- Avoid letting your opponent reach 100 points before you do!
