Proposal: Maverick

If Proposal: Yes I know it means work fails, this automatically fails as well.

Add a new game:

Poker-ish (2,4)
At the commencement of a game of Poker, all players must discard all the cards from their hand. Any cards they gain from thereon in are kept secret; cards may not be drawn in the conventional way, but instead must be requested from the GM. Once e has an analogous request from all remaining players, e shall randomly generate the appropriate number of cards and apportion them according to eir own logic. The GM is expected to keep track of cards apportioned in this manner, for later corroboration if necessary.

Additionally, they must make a stake of Kudos in their initial response. Each player must have enough Kudos to cover their stake throughout; if ever their stake exceeds their Kudos total, they are busted and must fold. Each time a player gains a card, that player must either raise their stake or fold, forfeiting their existing stake but exiting the game. If all player but one have folded before the game reaches five hands, that player wins.

When all players have five cards, they must reveal their hands. The player with the highest-scoring hand wins, and may claim the Kudos stakes of all other players. In all cases, a ‘pure’ hand – a hand that contains only conventional cards – wins over a hand of a similar set but consisting of non-conventional cards. A list of scoring hands appears below, in descending order of rank:

-Royal flush: An Ace-high straight flush.
-Straight flush: Five cards in sequence and of the same suit. Example: QD JD 10D 9D 8D Must consist of conventional cards.
-Four of a kind: A hand with four cards of the same rank. Example: 4S 4D 4H 4C 9H May alternatively contain 4 non-conventional cards with a uniting feature from the same source, e.g. 4 Monopoly Title Deeds
-Full house: A hand with three cards of one rank and two of another. Example: 8S 8D 8C KH KC May consist, wholly or partly, of sets with some common link from a non-conventional source e.g. 2 Earth cards from Magic The Gathering, 3 Gun cards from Risk, 2 members of the Bun the Baker family from Happy Families
-Flush: Five cards of the same suit. Example: KC JC 8C 4C 3C May consist of 5 non-conventional cards from the same source
-Straight: Five cards in sequence. (The ace can be considered higher than the king, or lower than the two.) Example: 5D 4H 3C 2D AD Can be supplemented with non-conventional cards, so long as they display the required number in a game-mechanic proscribed way
-Three of a kind: Three cards of the same rank. Example: 7S 7H 7C KD 2C May consist of 3 non-conventional cards from the same source
-Two pair: Two cards of one rank, two of another. Example: AS AD 8H 8C QC Can be supplemented with pairs of non-conventional cards from the same source
-One pair: Two cards of the same rank. Example: 9H 9C AS JC 4H May consist of 2 non-conventional cards from the same source
-No pair: Also known as a high card hand. The following example is considered "Ace high." Example: AD 10D 9C 5S 4S Non-conventional cards may never be the high card. If no conventional card is present then this hand automatically comes last.
-The Worst Hand In Existence, Ever: If a player has, after their second draw, a 2 of any suit and a receipt for a box of tampons, they must fold, but may gain 10 Kudos for having had the Worst Poker Hand Ever.
