How to Play Poker Solitaire

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Antonia Hoyland, on behalf of Expert Village. This game is called Poker Solitaire. The poker hands that are allowed are these. A straight flush, a four of a kind, a full house, a flush, or a straight. For this game, you're going to need 25 cards out of a standard deck, no jokers. To set up the game, put the 25 cards in a five-by-five square, face up. The point of the game is to put the rows into perfect poker hands. You can move cards by switching them around, and really do whatever you have to do to get them to a perfect poker hand. With a lot of patience, and a lot of persistence, this can usually be done. A good thing to bear in mind is that that four of a kind has a trash card in there. One card you can't fit anywhere else can go in your four of a kind hand, because it really doesn't matter what is there."
