Description:

This swap is more like a game then a normal swap.

So, who wants to play postcard poker?!

Here's what ya do:

  • Get two postcards. ( Can be store bought or hand made. These cards are SENDERS CHOICE. Please do not comment as "I would like this type of card" )

  • Get a deck of cards.

  • Take out 4 cards from the deck. Four totally random cards.

  • On the back of ONE postcard, you are going to write a short message to your partner. You will also write the four cards you picked out ( number and suit ie 3s , 6c , Kh, 2d. [s=spades, c=clubs, h=hearts, d=diamonds ] ) This will be 4 out of 5 cards for your partners hand of poker.

  • Send your postcard in a TIMELY fashion, as this is a game, not just a swap, they depend on getting your postcard!

  • Once you get your postcard, message me the FOUR CARDS you were assigned. I will not assign the 5th card until everyone is marked down with a hand.

  • Once the swap date has been reached, I will take a deck of cards, and randomly draw one card for each letter of the alphabet. So, if your swapbot name starts with a K, you will get a different 5th card then someone whos swap name starts with an S.

  • Take the 4 cards you were assigned, and the 5th random card I posted and comment, again, with your hand ( IE: 3 of a kind: K K K or FULL HOUSE: 4 4 4 J J )

Once the winner is determined, we will send them their prize... Which is the second postcard we all have.

I will email everyone with the winners address, and you will send out their postcard asap.

IF you have not gotten your postcard by the end of the swap, PLEASE message me. I will randomly draw 4 cards for you, and that will be your hand. But, I hope this does NOT happen, as everyone should be able to send two postcards. If you can not, please do not join.

The rules:

Newbies allowed with a fully filled out profile.

ABSOLUTELY NO 1's or 3's in the last 6 months! I do not want to take the chance of someone not getting their hand.

IF you don't think your postcard will make it to your partner on time, message me with your partners name and the cards you wrote on the postcard, and I will contact them.

Please message me with ANY questions that you have.

Again:

  • two postcards.
  • one goes to partner with short message and 4 cards.
  • one goes to winner.
  • message me with 4 cards when receive.

** This is USA only. If it gets a good response, I will make a #2 that is international. **

*** EDIT:: I've decided to pull one card for each person, not one card for each letter. So, once you message me with your hand, I will message you back with your 5th card.***

awesome! Glad everyone likes the idea. :D I think next I might try to figure out a bingo game. haha.

For those of you wondering, I will be using RANDOM.COM to pull the cards. Once everyone is marked down with a hand, I will send out the list of cards.

Please re-read the instructions if you need to.

Good luck everyone!

Not yet @CrowsFox I'm waiting on one more person. If they don't have their hands by the night of Nov. 5th (so tonight) I will assign a hand to them and announce the winner and instructions via email. :D
