Let us talk about Chinese poker, an interesting variant of poker. It is unique, and so are its rules. With its fascinating features and rules, this is a game you should try out.

Here is a short overview of how you can play Chinese poker –

Players decide on a fixed amount before the game starts.

The rule of allowing a player to opt-out or surrender in a game needs to be pre-decided.

The dealer begins dealing thirteen cards starting from the player sitting to the immediate next to him. The dealer keeps changing in a clockwise motion.

All players get thirteen cards, whether it's two, three, or four players.

Divide your cards between the top, bottom, and middle hands.
 

The player to the dealer's immediate left will start the round by deciding whether they want to continue or surrender.

In the same order as above, the players will announce their royalties.

Then, the cards will get turned face-up, and each hand's comparison will occur.

Each player gets one point for having the winning hand. And if you win all three hands, then it is called a 'scoop.' Winning all three hands will get you three points.

There needs to be a check done to determine whether a player made a foul or missed a set.

Once the points get counted in the scoreboard, this hand comes to an end, and the dealer changes.
