How to play C-Pok
- You're dealt 13 cards; the 3♦ holder leads.

- Clear the pile when everyone passes, then lead any hand.
- First to empty their hand wins the round.
C-Pok rules
Goal & deal
2-4 players, 13 cards each. Be first to empty your hand. The player holding the 3 of Diamonds leads first and must include it.
Ranking
Cards low to high: 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J,Q,K,A,2 (the 2 is highest). Suits: ♦ < ♣ < ♥ < ♠, and break ties.
Playing
Beat the pile with a higher hand of the SAME size, or pass. Singles, pairs, trips, and 5-card hands (straight < flush < full house < four-of-a-kind < straight flush).
C-Pok twists
A flush is ranked ONLY by its suit (♠ highest) — ranks don't matter. The straight order runs 10-J-Q-K-A (highest) down to A-2-3-4-5 (lowest).
Strategy tips
- Save your 2s and high spades — they're near-unbeatable.
- Hold a strong flush (high spade) to seize the lead.
- Break up combos only when it's worth winning the trick.
