Fizzbin

What are the rules for Fizzbin?

 

[Kryton]

Depends...what day of the week are you playing?

 

[GeorgeKirk]

• Each player gets six cards, except for the player on the dealer's right, who gets seven.
• The second card is turned up, except on Tuesday.
• If you get two jacks, then you've got a half Fizzbin already, but if you get another jack, then you'd have a Shralk, and you'd be disqualified.
• You need a king and a deuce, except at night when you'd need a queen and a four.
• If you got a king, then you'd get another card, except when it's dark, then you'd have to give it back.
• What you're after is a Royal Fizzbin, but the odds in getting a Royal Fizzbin are astronomical. Spock has never calculated them.

No, just taken from the episode.

At least nobody said "How lucky you are!" like we just made a deal at the used car lot.
