How to play
A standard deck plus two Jokers. Five cards — Main Street — are dealt face down on the table. You hold a hand of any size and a holster that takes two cards.
Only your two holster cards, plus the five on Main Street, make your poker hand at the end. Everything else is manoeuvring.
Your turn
Do exactly one of these, then play passes on.
- Flip and draw. Turn over a face-down Main Street card, then draw a card.
- Play an action. Resolve the rule on a card that has one (7 through Ace). The card is then discarded.
- Holster a card. Any card can go in. If it has a holster action (2 through 6) that rule fires and the card sits face up for everyone to see — otherwise it goes in face down. With a full holster you choose which card to give up.
The round ends once all five Main Street cards are face up. Best poker hand wins.
