How to play

You get 25 cards, one at a time. Place each in the grid. A placed card can’t move. When the grid fills, the five rows and five columns each score as a poker hand.

Three rules of thumb

• Rows collect sets: pairs, threes, fours.
• Columns chase straights and flushes.
• Keep one line as a dump for cards that fit nowhere.

Scoring

You play scoring. The rules are the same in both. Only the points change.

English rewards straights, which are hard to build on a grid. American rewards flushes and gives bigger numbers.
