As we have seen over the last few weeks, there's been a Joker running around here. So, this week we will play a card game for the Head of Household competition.
This game is called “Jokers Wild”. It is a 7-card draw poker game. You want to create the best poker hand you can from 7 draws. The deck has 52 cards and two Jokers. Everyone has their own deck.
You can choose to draw from certain pools of cards by paying for the it (see below). When you make a choice from a pool of cards, you will get one of those cards, but you won't know which one. I will randomly draw the cards from any pools that you choose. For example, if you say draw red 7-10, then I will randomly pick a card that is a 7, 8, 9, or 10 of diamonds or hearts.
Your budget is $200. These are the pools that you can choose to have your cards drawn from:
-----
Draw any card: Random draw of any one card (1 of 54 cards, standard deck plus two Jokers): No cost, $0
Draw any 2-6: Random draw of one card from all 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (1 of 20 cards): $15
