[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 6887961, member: 92305"] [b]DRAW ONE:[/b] After the preface bet is made, the cards are dealt, players have discarded, and Play Bets are made, the game enters the Draw One phase. Here, the player must discard one of his two cards. When he does so, the droid will deal a replacement card and kills the discarded card. The new card will either help or hinder the player's hand. Each player, in turn, must discard and use a new card. The skill in the game comes not only from judicious betting but also from the person's decision on which of his two cards is most likely to be improved when he discards and is dealt a new card. The droid cleans the table of discards, and a new betting round happens. Players make their second Play Bet. [b]DRAW TWO:[/b] The next phase of the game is exactly like the last. Players must discard one card, and each is dealt a new card. This will be the player's final combination of cards. The cycle he holds now in his hand is the cycle with which he will end the game. A final Play Bet is made, and once completed, players reveal their hands to each other. The player with the highest cycle wins the entire pot. If there is a tie, then the pot is split proportionally. If a player used all the money from his bank and was raised in that or a later phase, then the droid will calculate the side pots proportionally. [b]A PINWHEEL SET:[/b] Pinwheel is not played continually. It is played in "sets", which are a number of hands, that take about an hour to play. Committing to a Pinwheel game means the the player agrees to play for a minimum of an hour. Although players are not forced to continue playing if a person attempts to leave the game before the set has completed, it is considered extremely bad form. If a player gains a reputation for doing this, he will find it quite hard to find players to play with him. After a set is played, a new set is started. Players may play for hours and hours--as long as they like--in about 1 hour increments. [/QUOTE]
