Goal
Fill all twenty-five positions and score at least 70 points to win. There is no redeal or exchange of placed cards.
Starting layout
Use one deck and an empty five-by-five board. Turn over the next card and place it in any empty position. The next card appears after each placement; only twenty-five cards are placed.
How to play
A placed card cannot move. Plan five horizontal and five vertical poker hands; both directions contribute to the total score. Hidden future cards are not available to inspect. English scoring: straight or royal flush 30; four of a kind 16; straight 12; full house 10; three of a kind 6; flush 5; two pairs 3; one pair 1; otherwise zero. An ace may be low or high in a straight, but sequences cannot wrap.
