Cards
There is exactly 1 deck of 52 Poker cards in a session. Each card has a unique combination of suit (♣️, ♦️, ♠️, ♥️) and rank (2-10, J, Q, K, A). Cards are neither created nor destroyed. Cards discarded in a particular round build up in a discard pile and get reshuffled into the dealing deck when the round ends.

- Pair: 2 cards with the same rank

- Note: Ace can connect with 2 and 3 upward or with K and Q downward, but not between K and 2.
- 3-card flush: 3 cards with the same suit
- Three of a kind: 3 cards with the same rank
- 3-card straight flush: 3 cards with the same suit and also with adjacent ranks (e.g. 4♦️, 5♦️, 6♦️)

Keys
Each non-dealer player starts with 5 keys; the dealer starts with 6 keys. Keys are never destroyed through the match, but players may create new ones if they raise.
Keys are the sole resource used to determine 🧈 payouts. Holding keys also provides 2 defense buff in defense against the source player in a potential battle.
You get other players' keys via trading or eliminating them in a battle. To create more of your own colored keys, you can raise.
