Five Crowns

Product Information

Joker cards are always wild, but the other wild cards change each round! However, the wild cards will be the same as the number of cards dealt each round. So, in the first round, the three cards will be wild, the four cards will be wild in the second round, and so on. Playing Five Crowns This may seem really obvious, but a lot of people subconsciously “write off” the card they’re using the wild for. Just like in Rummy, cards can only be removed from your hand in either a book or a run. Books are three (or more) matching cards; the suit doesn’t matter as long as the number is the same. Runs, on the other hand, are a numerical sequence of cards of the same suit. Once all eleven rounds have been completed, the totals are tallied up. The winner of Five Crowns is the player with the lowest score. Five Crowns – A Fun Rummy Alternative

I don’t know about you, but 8 missing cards for a set sounds better than 4 missing cards of a run. #3 Keep Nearby But Disconnected Run Cards So, when 3 cards are dealt, the 3s are wild, when 4 cards are dealt, the 4s are wild and so on until the last round when the Kings go wild.

Each round increases the number of cards you get (first round is 3, second is 4, etc.) until you reach thirteen cards. If there's a tie for the lowest score: have multiple winners OR deal a 6-card tie-breaking round for only the tied players to play. For runs, say if you have a 4 and 5 of spades, you’ll still be waiting on the 6 or 3 of spades. There are only two of these each, so four in total.

Each hand after the initial hand functions the same way, except one extra card (compared to the prior hand) is dealt.Jokers are always wild cards. There are also rotating wild cards that change every round. The rotating wild cards are based on the number of cards dealt that round. Sets: Sets (or books) are three or more cards of the same value, no matter which suit. Cards in a set can be replaced by wild cards or jokers.
