Message: [QUOTE="dj11, post: 1769891, member: 13851"] If we wanted to have more fun, we could invent hybrid cards. For example, the 78 card, could be used as either a 7 or an 8 or both in straights. Deck might be 150 cards (very hard to hand shuffle, but piece of cake electronically). Remove or add suits. But in each of the variants, the term poker would also need to morph. Just as the word poque (old name for a similar game), implies a non 52 card deck, Foker could imply some really devious version played with some cleverly designed deck arrangement. All the underlying concepts of poker (as we love it) would still be there, but the artifacts of each hand would be different. Or simply change the game by using a pinochle deck. Or the rejects from pinochle decks.:eek: [/QUOTE]
