Gameplay
First off, there’s no need for physical bills. Our random number generator provides an endless supply of hands.
When it’s your turn you simply Bid (Raise), Challenge (Call) or Count (end the hand if your Bid is challenged by everyone else). The buttons on your game console change color and activate when you’re up. And last to go in the previous hand opens the bidding on the next hand.
To keep things fair, ten hands make up a Slip. No one shot lucky strikes, players must tough it out over ten different hands, strong or weak, to see who’ll come out ahead. If you’re behind after a few hands it gives you a chance to be aggressive and come back or if you’re ahead an opportunity to consolidate or increase your gains.
Some hands will be worth more than others. Pay attention to the multiple to the right of the hand at the top of your game console. It’s color coded and will change from hand to hand and within the hand itself. Speaking of worth, SLIPS are played for units and it’s up to the Players to decide what a unit is worth. In a modest game this could be $1 or $2 and in a heavier one perhaps $10 (or whatever currency unit you’re comfortable with). Remember this is a game played among friends. You can even play for a set amount (or beverage round) for the entire Slip, it’s up to you.
