“Tango Hold ‘Em”–a new mixer concept by Clay

0

Tango hold 'emEach person will receive one playing card when they arrive. The mixer will proceed according to the guidelines below for each tanda. Jokers are wild and if you hold a joker you can use it to cut in and/or have first choice at any tanda. However, you must give up your joker and exchange it with the person you dance with.  At the end, a prize will be given to any group of five that can create the highest poker hand without using any jokers. In case of a tie, each group will cut the deck for the highest card to win the prize.

TANDA GUIDELINES:

  1. Dance with someone that has the same color suit as you.
  2. Dance with someone that has the opposite color suit as you.
  3. Jacks or better have first choice.
  4. Speed shuffle: find any partner, exchange cards and dance one song.  When the song ends, dance and exchange cards with the person nearest to you.
  5. Dance with someone that holds the same suit as you.
  6. Spades dance with hearts and diamonds with clubs.
  7. Aces and prime numbers have first choice of partner.
  8. Speed shuffle
  9. Evens dance with odds and face card dance with face card (Aces sit out!)
  10. Spades dance with diamonds and clubs with hearts.
  11. Spades dance with clubs and hearts with diamonds
  12. Dance with someone who holds the same value card as you. (Suits do not have to match.)
  13. Highest poker hand created by any group of five wins a prize.
