In Poker a fifth estate increases the number of winning card combinations while lengthening the odds. With 60 cards and five estates, the total number of five card hands is 5,461,512. 5 of a Kind, with only 12 possible hands or a probability of 0.0000022, becomes the new top hand.

 

The table lists in descending order the poker hands in an Estate deck. A Rainbow is any five cards from different estates and outranks 2 Pair.

Club Sandwich is one variation in the scoring. Each wave card counts as many penalty points as its face value. The Man of Spades counts as 11.
