flesh this out

"draw tax" = in 5 card draw, on the draw, you must pay a nickel for each card past the first

"bizarro" = lowest hand wins (but wilds automatically form the best poker hand) – best with large numbers of wilds and a limited ability to replace/swap cards

phone home

• 5 card draw
• after the bet after the draw phase, there are up to three "phone home" phases in which each player as the option to buy a card for a quarter; there's betting after each of these rounds
• at ANY time (even DURING the showdown), a player may make a "collect call", thus buying another card for 50 cents. This may be done twice per player.
• Cards acquired via "phone home" or "collect call" are simply added to the hand; no discard is needed to accept them
• this is crazy
