Rules

Object of the game: Build ten series of cards with the highest possible score according to Poker rules, on a grid of five columns x five rows.

From a complete deck of 52 cards, place one card at a time on a grid of 5 x 5. You can place the cards anywhere you wish.

You can place only one card in each space.
You've won this game, if the sum of the scores of each column and row is higher than 100.
Example: We've dealt from the stock the 8, 2, 9, Jack and Ace of hearts. When placed in a row, we get 20 points for a "Flush" (five cards of the same suit, not in sequence).
- Royal Flush (100 points): A sequence from 10 to Ace of the same suit.
- Straight Flush (75 points): Five cards in sequence, and of the same suit.
- Four of a Kind (50 points): Four cards of the same rank plus an odd card.
- Full House (25 points): Three cards of one rank and a pair of another rank.
- Flush (20 points): Five cards of the same suit but not in sequence.
- Straight (15 points): Any run of five cards in numerical sequence and not of the same suit.
- Three of a Kind (10 points): Three cards of the same rank and two odd cards.
- Two Pair (5 points): Two pairs of cards, plus any other card.
- One Pair (2 points): Two cards of the same rank, plus any three cards.
