The game itself is a simple card game that basically uses Poker style combos in an effort to discard all the cards in your hand. Additionally instead of Jokers there are two phoenix cards and a red dragon card. What makes this game unique is that 4 or more cards of a kind trump all other combos and the winner of a hand takes the best card of the worst loser of a hand. This strong getting stronger and weak getting weaker aspect really lends itself well to smack talk which is the heart and soul of card gaming.
