Dealing & Turns
-
The first player to draw a $100 from the deck deals first.
-
Turns move clockwise, starting left of the dealer.
-
Between rounds, the deal rotates clockwise, too.
Rounds, Scoring & Tallying
-
Each game involves quick rounds where players count the “cash” in their hands at the end of each round.
-
For most of the games, the most "cash" wins (though there are a few where the "least cash" wins).
-
For rapid games, play one round to determine a winner. For longer games, keep a tally of rounds to crown a victor.
-
For example, “First player to total $5,000 wins!” or "Game is over after everyone deals once."
-
Wild Cards
To increase the ferocity of any game use the jokers or $2s as wild cards, which might have different powers. We include suggestions on how to use jokers for various games. Choose one of our ideas, or come up with your own--we don’t know what you’ll come up with—just have fun doing it!
Golden Rule
Before and after every round, remember what momma said, “Play nice!” During the game, well that’s up to you.
