Write the rule card first
| Question | What must be settled |
|---|---|
| Selection | Printed joker, chosen rank or hand-dependent card? |
| Timing | When is the wild designation announced? |
| Role | Can a wild card also keep its printed identity? |
| Equality | How are equivalent substituted hands resolved? |
An original worked exercise
Use a practice hand 8♣ 9♣ J♦. If J♦ is explicitly wild, it could stand for 10♣ and form a pure sequence in a teaching convention. Without that designation the hand has no run. Always explain the substituted value rather than only saying “joker wins”.
Test an edge case before starting
Pick a second example that stresses the rule: an ace, a wild card, equivalent final hands or an extra-card choice. Ask every learner to explain the result. A disagreement is useful evidence that the written rule needs more detail. Resolve it before dealing more examples.
Classic tools have a boundary
The browser hand comparator supports three-card classic no-joker hands only. It must not be used as a decision engine for this variant unless the exercise reduces to a supported classic hand after an explicitly defined selection.
