A light, engaging game where a lot of different things can happen. Players take turns placing cards on a cloth grid. The first player (or team) to form one of the top poker hands (straight or better) wins, provided all of the cards are in a straight line and in your possession as indicated by colored markers. Crossing lines adds challenge as your opponent is always trying to block your efforts even as he/she develops his/her own winning line. In addition, deuces allow a player to either take over a card or remove it from the board. A real "thinking" game and multifaceted, as every game unfolds differently. Team play is a lot of fun. The deuces play a big role in strategy, hence the name of the game.
