Understanding the Full Structure of Pusoy
Each player in Pusoy receives 13 cards and must arrange them into three rows: a back row of five cards, a middle row of five cards, and a front row of three cards. The back row must be your strongest hand, the middle your second strongest, and the front your weakest — setting them out of order is a foul and you
forfeit the round. Standard poker hand rankings apply to the back and middle rows, while the front row is ranked only by high card or pairs. After all four players reveal, each row is compared head-to-head. Winning two out of three rows takes the round; sweeping all three earns bonus units from every opponent.
