**The objective of the game is to be the first to get rid of all of your cards.
Combinations:
- Single cards: Any card from the deck, ordered by rank with suit being the tie-breaker. (For instance, Spade A beats Heart A, which beats Spade K.)
- Pairs: Any two cards of matching rank, ordered as with singular cards by the card of the higher suit. (A pair consisting of the Spade K and Club K beats a pair consisting of Heart K and Diamond K.)
- Three of a kind: Any three cards of matching rank, ordered by r nk, twos rank high, as usual.
- 5-card hand:
**Straight (also known as a snake in cantonese): Any 5 cards in a sequence (but not all of the same suit). Rank is determined by the highest valued card with the suit used only as a tie-breaker. Therefore A-2-3-4-5 > 10-J-Q-K-A . The smallest straight is 3-4-5-6-7.
**Flush (also called flower): Any 5 cards of the same suit (but not in a sequence). Rank is determined by highest value card and then by highest suit.
**Full House: a composite of a three-of-a-kind combination and a pair. Rank is determined by the value of the triple, regardless of the value of the pair.
**Four of a kind + One card (nicknamed King Kong, tiki, or Bomb): Any set of 4 cards of the same rank, plus any 5th card. (A 4 of a kind cannot be played unless it is played as a 5-card hand) Rank is determined by the value of the 4 card set, regardless of the value of the 5th card.
**Straight Flush: A composite of the straight and flush: five cards in sequence in the same suit. Ranked the same as straights, suit being a tie-breaker.

If you like this app, please make a comment about it. Thanks for playing :D.
I tried to play this on an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1. I tried every gesture I can think of to play a move but nothing works. I looked for a support web site but there isn't one. The App Store button that says "App Support" just takes you to a Facebook login page but I hate Facebook and refuse to use it. Apparently you can only get support via Facebook so I can't use this app. Also, even though the App store page says optimized for iPhone 5 I suspect the graphics are not Retina resolution because they are blurry enough that it's not easy to quickly read the denominations of the cards (Hmmm... is that a 6 or a 5? I guess it's a 6.) The play might be interesting if I could get it to work.
