How to play

The host picks how many seats the table has, two, three or four, and how long the match is. Each seat has a link of its own to send. If somebody does not turn up, the host can start with the seats that are filled, and the table becomes that size.

Every card is dealt, sorted high to low, and each card carries a chip with the rank number and a mark, R for red or B for black. The other hands show as backs and a number, because you can see how many cards a seat holds but not which ones. A set that is still face down is hidden from every seat but the one that laid it, and a set that was hidden stays hidden for good.

The House lays a set face down and says how many cards it holds. Every other seat lays that many. The House turns its set over, and then each seat in turn shows a stronger set of the same size or hides. A card or a button that is off says why in words, and the line above the hand always says whose move it is.

At the count the table lists what each hand was worth, kết and đè included, and every seat presses Next hand to go on. Chat is always on at the table, and voice only if the host switched it on when they made it.
