Hookala -

A card game that is a version of other known card games such as Tonk Originating in San Antonio Texas. Each participate puts a two stacks of money in front of them normally a dollar but can be any amount the dealer of the cards chooses. The object is to get as close to 31 of the same suit as possible with Aces being worth 11, getting 31 exactly would be considered a "hookalah" Face cards worth 10 and all other cards at face value Each player receives three cards initially and the top card is flipped over. The player to the left of the deal can then either choose the flipped card or one of the top of the deck. It will continue clockwise around the table until some players has at least 23 points and is aloud to Knock. Although you are not required to knock. Once knocked every other player get one more draw. At the end of the hand each player shows his points and the lowest puts one of his stacks in the pot. If a player get "hookalah" at any time throughout the games he or she may just put their cards down and declare "Hookalah" at which time every other player must put on stack of money in the pot. Example of Hooklah would be King of Hearts Jack of Hearts Ace of Heats. Once a player has put both stacks of money in they are floating and may stay in the game until they are lowest one more time or another player get hookala. The last person with money left at the end of the game takes the entire PotMajortom30 (talk) 16:15, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
