Quick Play Rule Set
Set Up
Distribute the chips evenly amongst all players and choose a dealer for the game.
Each player places a white chip on each section of the game mat, including the Kitty space.
Deal all cards out to players, including one extra hand of cards to the side of the dealer. The dealer may discard their hand to pick up the extra hand instead. Then the game commences!
Phase I: Hearts
If a player holds one of the cards depicted on the game mat, they may reveal the card (or cards) in order to claim the chips on that section. Once everyone claims their chips, advance to Phase II.
Phase II: Poker
Using the cards available to them, each player makes their best possible 5-card poker hand. Players make bets into the poker pot section of the mat.
Much like regular poker, players may check, bet, or fold. Once players have called or folded, they reveal their 5-card hands. The best hand wins all the chips in the poker pot. Advance to Phase III.
Phase III: Michigan Rummy
The dealer beings by playing their lowest-value card of any given suit. Whoever has the next highest card in sequence (of the same suit) plays it, creating a stack.
Play continues until no player can play the next-highest card in sequence. If a player cannot play the next card in a sequence, they must pay a red chip or five white chips into the Kitty space.
When all players have played or passed, discard the current stack. Whoever played the last card of the stack plays their next lowest card, beginning a new stack. This stack cannot be the same suit as the previous stack. Advance to Ending the Game.
Ending the Game
When one player has gotten rid of all cards in their hand, they win Phase III and collect the chips from the Kitty space + one chip from each player for each card remaining in their hand. That’s Michigan Rummy!
Play for a predetermined amount of time and then count chips at the end of the game to decide who is the winner!
