Objective

You will be placing cards in a 5x5 grid.

Each row and column will be compared against your competitors. For each row and column, the player with the best hand will score 1 or 2 points.

Method

On your turn, either:

• Place the face-up card on your grid, then flip another 'top' card, or
• Select another 'top' card, causing it to flip, then place it on your grid

Cards can only be placed if they are beside another card (up/down, left/right or touching a corner).

The front face of the card will always be one of the colours and numbers shown on the back of the card. This will help you try to get a desired card.

Scoring

The better combination of cards on each row/column will beat competitors combinations.

Cards can be IN ANY ORDER.

Combinations from Best to Worst are:

Combination	Example	Example	Score
Straight Flush	1   2   3   4   5	5 Consecutive numbers (in any order) all in the same colour	2
5 of a Kind	4   4   4   4   4	5 of the same number (any colours)	2
4 of a Kind	4   4   4   4	4 of the same number (any colours)	1

Flush	4   7   9   2   3	All cards same colour (any numbers)	1
3 of a Kind	4   4   4	3 of the same number (any colours)	1

Cocktail	4   7   9   2   2	5 different colours (any numbers)	1

Strategy

• Look at the back of cards to find ones that will help your combinations
• Take cards that your opponent wants
• If an opponent's row/column is unbeatable, use that row/column as a 'trash can' for your worthless cards
