On: A secret poker game you can play on the subway

> Each type of passenger corresponds to a specific poker card value: Child: Counts as a 10 Teenager: Counts as a Jack Woman: Counts as a Queen Man: Counts as a King Elderly Person: Counts as an Ace

How do you get the players to agree on whether some person is elderly or not? Some people look 10 years younger than their age, while others look 10 years older. Short of asking people for their age, it seems to remain guesswork...

It's not like it's an official competition, and it's (probably) not for money, so I imagine you can just wing it and it will be fine. If there's a disagreement you just talk it out, which is also a good way to pass time on a subway.

I'd be more worried about overlap; if there are five women, and one is elderly, I'd rather count it as five queens than four and an ace.

unless you include Balatro hands where Five of a kind, flush five, and flush house are possible hands with some modified card decks.
