Let's Make a Deal

Name of the Game: Let's Make a Deal

Deal: 5 cards

Draws: 2 draws of 2 cards

Wild Cards: dealers choice

Special Rules: An extra hand is dealt at the beginning of the game. After players review their initial cards, they can chose to bid on the spare hand. The bid continues until no one else wants to top the last bid. That person then gets the cards and the bid collected goes to the pot. If no one wants the cards then they are discarded and the game continues as per a normal 5-card game.

Variant: An excellent variant is to make a pair of king's take the game. If two players have a pair of kings, the one with the king of spades takes the game. This makes the game more interesting as players will hold a king in hopes for a second one, even though it hurts their odds for the normal low hand.
