Temperature

3 cards each

Setup Each player is dealt three cards face-down. A temperature card is drawn from the deck at the start of the round, and a new temperature card is drawn each time a player folds.

Objective The objective is to form the best hand, but the winning condition changes based on the temperature card:

  • If the temperature card is between A and 6, the lowest hand wins.

  • If the temperature card is between 7 and K, the highest hand wins.

Example You are dealt: A♥️, 6♣️, 4♦️. The initial temperature card is: 5♠️, so the lowest hand wins. You make: A♥️, 6♣️, 4♦️ (high card Ace).

A player folds, and the new temperature card is: K♦️, changing the rule to the highest hand winning. You can now compete for the highest hand with your A♥️ as the strongest card.
