Poker Square Solitaire Rules
Goal
Build multiple Poker hands to score 100 points or more.
The Deal
Using one deck, the layout starts the game empty. The Stock flips over one card.
Stock
The face up card near the Stock must be played to the Poker hands or a Discard Pile. As each card is played, the Stock will automatically flip another card.
Layout
The 25 spaces may hold one card each and form 10 hands of 5 cards each (5 rows of cards and 5 columns of cards.) The card next to the Stock must be played to one of the Poker hands or one of the Discards.
Once a card is placed it may not be moved.
Discards
There are four spaces where cards may be placed that are not wanted in the Poker hands.
SolitaireNetwork.com is liberal in the rules in providing these spaces. The actual game of Poker Square does not allow for discards. For a bigger challenge, try playing without the Discards.
Scoring
Scoring for the various Poker hands is based on the relative difficulty of obtaining a certain hand in a regular game of Poker.
Each of the 10 hands are scored as follows:
Hand | Points | Example |
| Royal Flush | 100 | A, K, Q, J, 10 of same suit |
| Straight Flush | 75 | 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 of same suit (5 sequential cards of same suit) |
| 4 of a Kind | 50 | 3, 3, 3, 3, X (X refers to any other card) |
| Full House | 25 | 5, 5, 5, J, J (Three of a kind and a pair) |
| Flush | 20 | Q, 10, 6, 4, 3 of same suit (any 5 cards of the same suit) |
| Straight | 15 | 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 of any suit. (5 sequential cards of any suit) |
| 3 of a Kind | 10 | K, K, K, X, X (any three cards of the same rank) |
| Two Pair | 5 | A, A, 4, 4, X |
| One Pair | 2 | Q, Q, X, X, X |
The scores from all 10 hands are added together to arrive at the final score.
