A LITTLE PRACTICE. A LOT MORE CONFIDENCE.

Try the twist.

Explore example cards at your own pace. These exercises help explain the rules; they are not live tables.

KEEP SHARED CARDS IN ONE LINE

Across or down. Never both.

Use at least two of your five private cards. Any shared cards you use must lie in left–centre–right OR top–centre–bottom. Your private five alone are also legal. Follow the reveal-and-bet order beside this diagram; shown outer faces illustrate the layout.

Read this move’s instructions
  1. Deal five private each.
  2. Put five table cards face down in a cross.

Label outer cards top, right, bottom, left; centre stays last.
