Five Card Spud
2–6 players · 30 min · 8+
Play five card sets to score points. Strategically discard smaller sets to change up your cards. You may save cards for future hands but they will be visible to all players.
Each player has a hand of 4 cards. There is a community potato field of 3 cards. Additionally players can use their turn to save up to 4 cards in their own potato field.
Players will score by building 5 card sets using cards from their hand, their potato field, and the community potato field. Scoring sets can be Five of a Kind, Flush, Straight, All Suits, or Full House.
