How Chicago is played here
The rules this table deals by. Everybody at the table sees the same lines before the first hand.
- Five cards each, then two or three rounds of exchanging, as the host chose. A player on 46 points or more is frozen and keeps their hand.
- After the last exchange only the best poker hand scores: 1 for a pair, up to 8 for a straight flush. Exactly equal hands are settled by suit, or both score, as the host chose.
- Then the same five cards are played out as tricks, following suit when you can. The last trick is worth 2.
- Before the first card anyone may call chicago: take all five tricks for 15, or lose 15. First to 52 wins.
How it works
- Open a table. It gets a short code of its own.
- Read the code out, or send the link. Anyone you send it to sits down as a guest, without an account.
- Deal once everyone is seated — or give each empty chair a bot and start now.
