Phlash Card Rules  

Phlash Card combines trivia and 5 Card Stud. The object is to answer the question correctly and win the challenges, in order to build the best poker hand you can. When the time is up… best hand wins.

Each hand (round) is timed and has a theme.

• 8 minute rounds
• 2 minute warnings = 10 seconds to answer any and all questions
• Themes: TV, movies, music, UW-Green Bay, Fighting Phoenix Athletics, sweet tooth, 1980s, sports, celebrities, etc.

Teams designate 1 person to answer questions

• Teams are allowed to converse about the Q and A

Teams are dealt 3 cards

Teams answer questions until they reach 5 cards (they receive one card per correct answer)

Once a team reaches 5 cards they determine how many cards they would like to wager (with the intent of building the best poker hand). The more cards they wager the tougher the questions.

If a team gets the question right, they receive new cards for the cards they wagered. If they get it wrong, they lose the cards and have to start over answering questions to get back up to 5 cards.

If a team achieves a hand that they would like to keep they can wager 2 cards but have the option of holding them if they get the question right. If they get it wrong, the cards are discarded. The team must then work back up to 5 cards.

If a team is dealt a Phlash card they have 2 options.

• The team can do an individual challenge. This is a challenge where either the team or a team member competes against the clock. If this is achieved successfully they will be dealt the next card. If they fail they will not receive a card and the Phlash card will be placed back into the deck. The team will then have to reach 5 cards again.
• The team can also choose a team challenge. This is a challenge between teams. The team that wins the challenge will be allowed to choose the exact card they wish to have.
• Game time is stopped for challenges.

Once time runs out, the hand a team has is the hand the team must play.

Teams win by having the best hand 2 out of 3 times.
