Shillington McShillface Poker

The game of first hands.

Needed: a deck of cards

Players: 2-6

Object of the game: collect the money cards (10s)

Based off of 5 hand poker, except the 10s are taken out of the deck at the start and placed face up in a row in the center (the money cards). After each hand, the winner of the hand gets to select a face card out of the deck and place it face up in front of him/her. The game continues and players are able to incorporate their collected face cards into their poker hands. Once a player has collected Ace through Jack of a single suit, they may collect the 10 of that suit from the center. The 10 is then placed in front of the player, and the face cards of that suit are reshuffled back into the deck. The player that collects all of the 10s wins.

• Table talk, bartering, alliances, back-stabbing, and cheating are all encouraged. If a player is caught cheating, all of their face cards are shuffled back into the deck; however, they keep all 10s that they have collected.

• After a player has won a hand, they may select any face card in the deck or in front of another player; however, a 10 may not be stolen or discarded once it has been collected by a player. 10s may only be stolen or selected by a player who has collected the Ace through Jack of that suit.

• I haven't worked out how to incorporate the blind, small blind, and betting features of poker into the game. Not sure whether to make additional rules (e.g. something like betting cards in hand or collected face cards) or to keep the normal betting feature utilizing chips.
