Format

A data frame with rownames describing the game and 10 variables:

rowname = name of the game(ngame parameter eg, "Seven Stud Hi-Lo")

[,1]	Type	chr	"Community" games have community cards, "Stud" games do not
[,2]	Main.Hand	chr	Victory Conditions for Main Hand (see below)
[,3]	Split.Hand	chr	Victory Conditions for Split Hand
[,4]	Wildcards	chr	Wildcards generated by the game variant
[,5]	Deal1	chr	cards dealt in first round (5h1c = 5 hole, 1 community)
[,6]	Deal2	chr	cards dealt in second round (1u = 1 upcard, 3c = 3 community)
[,7]	Deal3	chr	cards dealt in third round (NA = no such round in this game)
[,8]	Deal4	chr	cards dealt in third round (NA = no such round in this game)
[,9]	Deal5	chr	cards dealt in third round (NA = no such round in this game)
[,10]	Misc	chr	notes about the game. A game listed in parentheses is statistically the same.

Win codes:

HI = High hand wins, no restrictions
HI - Pair = High hand wins if it is at least a pair
HI - Flop1 = There are two sets of community cards. Build with 1st
HI - Flop2 = There are two sets of community cards. Build with 2nd
LO - A-5 = Low hand wins, Ace is low, straights/flushes ignored
LO - A-5 8- = As A-5, but need 8-High or lower to win (usually Hi-Lo)
LO - A-6 = Ace is low, straights/flushes count. Homegame variant.
LO - 2-7 = Ace is high, straights/flushes count
LO - 2-7 9- = As 2-7, but need 8-High or lower to win (usually Hi-Lo)

Poker Hand Value: High Card < Pair < 2-Pair < 3-Kind < Straight < Flush < FullHouse < 4-Kind < StrFlush < 5-Kind

Ace can normally be either high or low, and wildcards substitute for any suit or value unless otherwise specified by the poker variant

Wildcards added by the game are in addition to those added using the wcard parameter in the wpgame or wpstats functions.

Minor variants can be created by adding wildcards. As an example my group used to play "Dangerous Queens" which was Follow the Queen with Suicide King and One Eyed Jacks wild (the idea being that the wilcards already followed the queens earlier and were wild, but damaged by the experience)

Dangerous Queens would be specified in wpgame or wpstats as:

ngame = "Follow the Queen", wcards = c("Suicide King", "One Eyed Jacks") or alternately wcards = c("KH", "JH", "JS")

If using wpgraphs directly, Dangerous Queens would use the number of added wildcards instead of specifying the wildcards:

ngame = "Follow the Queen", wcards =3
