Write the rule card first
| Question | What must be settled |
|---|---|
| Ace treatment | Is an ace high, low or context-dependent? |
| Combinations | Do sequences and colours count as combinations? |
| Category reversal | Is every classic category reversed? |
| Equal hands | Does a request/position rule decide the outcome? |
An original worked exercise
Take 7♠ 5♥ 2♣ and A♦ 4♣ 3♥. Under a teaching rule that compares descending high-card ranks with ace high and lower preferred, the first hand is lower because seven compares below ace. A rule that makes ace low could change the comparison. State the model before announcing a result.
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.
