Toh is a high-card game in which players act in order to decide whether they are in or out, as in the poker game guts.

There is a balance between the number of players and the number of points/cards needed to win; this number of points is announced before the game begins.

The game is designed for 4 to 10 people. 4 players might play to 5 points, 8 or more players to only 3 points.

The rules of the game are very simple and as follows:

The pot is usually seeded with a penny ( but you can make it what ever you want)

Each hand, every player is dealt one card face down.

The deal rotates.

After each deal, discards are kept in a separate discard pile; as long as there are enough cards in the remaining deck to deal the next hand, there is no reshuffling. (In a friendly game, the last hand before a reshuffle may be announced as such.)

Each player in turn will then announce whether they are in or out.

If only the dealer stays in, players have a second chance to stay in as well.

At the showdown, the losers match the pot, and the winner keeps the high card face up next to them.

High card wins; card value increases by suit, club-diamond-heart-spade.

The first player to reach the declared number of points wins the game, and takes the pot
