Football Field

Setup The dealer deals the cards to create an outer circle similar to a football field.

• An open card is placed face-up in front of each player (Outer Circle).

• Each player gets one closed card to pick up.

• One open card is placed in the center as the Universal Must-use card.

• No jokers are used.

Gameplay

• Players create a 3-card hand using:

  1. Their closed card.

  2. Any Outer Circle card (face-up cards from other players).

  3. The Universal Must-use card in the center.

• When a player folds, their Outer Circle card replaces the Universal Must-use card, reducing available Outer Circle cards.

Example
You have: 7♣️ (closed card).
An open card: K♦️ (Outer Circle).
Universal Must-use card: A♥️.
You form: 7♣️, K♦️, A♥️ (high card: Ace).
If a player folds with Q♠️ (Outer Circle), the Universal card becomes Q♠️, shrinking the Outer Circle.
