Poker Hand Rankings will show you the types of hands you can make and which is higher for those who don't know a lot about poker (like me)
To earn a card for your hand you have to read a book of course.
Cards 1-10: Books have to either have the number in the title or you have to be able to find a main theme in the book that associates back to a number. (ex- 3 brothers in the story, 10th anniversary is predominant theme, 7 people on a quest, 2nd book in the series, 100 year war) Things like twins isn't really a number so that type of thing wouldn't count.
Jacks: To get a Jack the book will have to have a book with the word Jack in the title, the authors name, or characters name is Jack. You may also use anyone that is nobility. (the word Knave can also be substituted for Jack)
King & Queen To get these cards the book will have to have the word in the title, character name or author name. Or the book must have a queen or king in the story. I am open to the idea of any queen/king whether it be a drag queen or Elvis is the King of rock and roll so you can be creative on this one.
AceTo get these cards the book will have to have the word in the title, character name or author name. Or the book must feature some type of Ace reference. An Ace is someone who excels in a field, it means high quality, excellence, but it also once meant bad luck when poker was played with dice. This card can have a lot of different definitions so please explain how it fits with the book you read.
Joker Jokers are wild in this poker run. To earn them you must read a book featuring a Joker or a trickster but you are only allowed one.
Suits Some poker hands require you to have all the same suits. Suits are Club, Spade, Heart, Diamond. To earn a suit card you can read a book with these words in the title, author's name or have a book with a picture of one on the cover of the book. However, the spelling must be the same no variations.
So, read a book collect cards and at the end of the year see who has the highest scoring hand.
Good luck.
