The ‘joker’ card is a wildcard and can be used in a hand and can act as any card you want it to be. The joker is drawn from the top of the deck after each player has received 10 cards. e.g. each player is dealt 10 cards and card number 31 is 5s. This would mean that all 5′s drawn from the deck or which are in a players hand are ‘jokers’. The benefit of the joker is that it can make your hand without you needing a particular card so you could be collecting Jacks, if you have 2 jacks Js, Jh you could use the 5 that you had (regardless of suit) to act as a Jack. So a winning hand could comprise of a maximum of 3 ‘jokers’ as the selected joker remains under the deck but visible to all players and this card is out of the game, it cannot be collected or used.

Jh, Js, 5d 7c, 8c, 9c, 5h Kd, Kh, 5c

The game is played where by each player is dealt 10 cards, a player is nominated to have the first go-usually this is to the left of the dealer, this player gets an 11th card. In our 3 player scenario the player who goes first gets the 32nd card, 10 to each player makes 30, 1 card selected as a joker and final card to the player nominated as first to go.

So now lets get down to it, the game environment will be explaining is played with one deck of cards and 3 players.
