- 1). Deal out the deck until only three cards remain. Each player should end up with a total of 17 cards in his hand.
- 2). Bid your hand, starting with the person to the left of the dealer, to not be part of the dizzy duo. Bid 1, 2 or 3 poker chips. Each subsequent bid must be higher than the previous to count. The highest bidder will play alone for the round; the other two will form a loose partnership until the end of the hand. Your bid should be based on how you believe your hand will play out (see the next step for valid plays).
- 3). Play your hand, starting with the highest bidder. You have a number of options in which to play in order from high to low—single card, pair, three-of-a-kind, three-of-a-kind with backer, three-of-a-kind with a pair, five-card sequence, two pairs, two sets of three-of-a-kind, two sets of three-of-a-kind with a backer, two sets of three-of-a-kind with a pair, four-of-a-kind and two jokers. Each subsequent play must be higher than the previous. If you are unable to make a valid play, you must pass, forfeiting your turn to the next player.
- 4). Swipe the cards from the table once two consecutive players have passed.
- 5). Play your hand, starting with the player next in line to play. You still have a number of options in which to play. Each subsequent play must again be higher than the next.
- 6). Continue to play until one player rids his hand of cards. If he is not part of the dizzy duo, he earns his bid in poker chips from each player. If he is part of the dizzy duo, the sole player pays his bid in poker chips to each player.
- 7). Play a set number of rounds—normally 12—with the player having the most chips at the end of the game being the winner of Dizzy Duo.
