Each 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.
