Never heard of it...describe it please?
You get 13 cards and have to build 3
poker hands out of the 13 cards (a 3 card hand and two 5 card
hands). Your 3 card hand is on top and the two 5 card hands are below, and the hands MUST increase in strength as you go down (if not this is a fouled hand and automatic loss).
After the hands are built, they are then matched up against your opponent and you get 1 point for each hand that wins (top hand vs opponents top hand, middle vs middle, bottom vs bottom).
Usually you determine a $ amount per point and just keep playing hands until someone quits.
You can play blind Chinese (which I prefer) where you flip one card at a time and have to place it (top/middle/or bottom). This is more challenging than being able to look at all 13 cards and then place the hand (obviously fouling is much less likely when know all your cards, it should NEVER happen). In blind Chinese, fouls happen all the time because you don't know what your 13 cards are (you only reveal 1 at a time while having to place the card in either the top/middle/or bottom rows.)
