** For a more complete tutorial, or other stuff regarding the game, please
   refer to the Deuce Manual.

Object of the Game
==================
The object of the game is to be the first player to get rid of all 13 cards in
your hand.

Number of Players
=================
The game is best played with 4 players, each player is dealt 13 cards from a
standard 52 card deck (jokers are not required in this game).

Ranking System of Cards and Suit
================================
The order from highest rank card to lowest rank card:
2-A-K-Q-J-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3 Suits are ranked from highest to lowest in this
order: Spades-Hearts-Clubs-Diamonds

How to Start the Game
=====================
The player with the lowest card, the 3 of diamonds, starts the first hand.  The
player must play the 3 of diamonds or any legal combinations with the 3 of
diamonds.  After the first game is played, the player that won the last game
will begin rather than the player with the 3 of diamonds.  After the first
player goes, the player to his/her right goes next (counter-clockwise).

Rules
=====

1. Single cards must follow single cards, doubles must follow doubles, triples
   must follow triples, and five-card combinations must follow other five-card
   combinations.

   For example: If a player plays a pair of Q's, in order for the next player
   to play, he/she must play a pair higher than the Q's such as a pair of A's.
   However, he/she cannot play a single 2 to beat a pair of Q's even though the
   2 has a higher rank than a Q.

2. On each turn, a player has an option of playing something higher than the
   previous player or they can pass and let the next player go.

3. If on a certain hand all three other players pass, the player that played
   the last hand will be allowed to play anything they want.

   ex. If player 1 plays a pair of aces and player 2, 3, and 4 all pass, player
   1 can now play any combination of cards he/she wants and would not have to
   follow rule 1.

4. When a player has one card left in his/her hand, he/she must call out ``last
   card.'' If not called, the player cannot play his/her last card on the next
   turn.

Combinations of Cards
=====================

a. Single cards
	- uses the DEUCE ranking system

b. Doubles/Pairs (2 cards of the same number)
	- the rank of the pair is determined by the highest card in the pair

c. Triples (3 cards of the same number)
	- the rank of the three cards is determined by the highest card in the
	  triplet

d. Five-Card Combinations ( or Poker Hands)
	- there are 6 different types of five-card combinations
		i) Straight
			- the player plays any consecutive 5 cards of any suit
			  ex. 5H-6S-7S-8D-9C
			- the rank of the cards are determined by the highest
			  card in the combination

			  Note:  The lowest straight playable is A-2-3-4-5 and
			  is beaten by 2-3-4-5-6, and this is beaten by
			  3-4-5-6-7.  The ace can be used as part of the
			  highest straight when played with the K-Q-J-10, but
			  the 2 cannot be used to combine with A-K-Q-J.

		ii) Flush
			- the player plays any 5 cards of the same suit 
			- the rank of the cards is determined by the suit, so a
			  heart flush would be higher than a club flush
			- if the suits are the same, then the combination with
			  the highest card will have greater ranking than the
			  other one (ex. 3H-5H-7H-10H-QH)

		iii) Full House
			- a full house contains 5 cards - a triplet and a double
			- the rank of the full house is determined by the
			  triplet, therefore the double does not affect the
			  full house (ex. JD-JH-JS-4C-4H)

		iv) Four Of a Kind
			- contains four of the same cards PLUS a single card of
			  any kind
			- the fifth card does not affect the hand

		v) Straight Flush
			- any five cards in consecutive order AND must all be
			  the SAME suit ex. 3H-4H-5H-6H-7H

		vi) Royal Flush
			- highest hand playable in DEUCE
			- must only contain the 10S-JS-QS-KS-AS
