In Pineapple OFCP, instead of one card per round per player as in Original OFCP, each player is dealt three cards per round, playing two and discarding one.įor each line, top/middle/bottom, we compare the hand rank for each pair of players. So if no players meet them, all players will score 0 for the round. If some player(s) don’t meet them, the hand is considered fouled/mis-set and has zero hand ranking. Straights, flushes, and straight flushes are not legal front hands.Īt the end of each round, you check the hand requirement for all players (by default Top hand ≤ Middle hand ≤ Bottom hand). The goal of the game is to achieve more points than your opponent(s) by winning more hands also known as rows and/or by collecting royalties on premium hands without fouling.Įach player plays cards across three hands, the top, middle, and bottom, such that at the end there are 3 cards in the top, 5 in the middle and 5 in the bottom 13 total in the completed hand, legal or not.
