The Spoiler
It’s been a while, but I’ve got another poker variant for you. It’s called the Spoiler. I didn’t dream this one up, so you might actually like it.
The fun starts with five cards to each player and five community cards down. Each community card is turned up individually followed by a betting round. It is easy to screw-up with the three-card reveal, that’s what we’re used to. After the third betting round, players must discard three cards from their hand. Players make the best hand from the five community cards and the two remaining of their own.
If you have read my previous game variant posts, you know why I both love and hate this game. It has the element of regret. Chances are you will curse yourself for choosing the wrong three cards to dump before seeing the last two community gems, but se la vi. That’s poker.
