TONK, is a card game HUGELY POPULAR in urban areas and barbershops all around the nation. Tonk can be played heads-up with two people or with as many as 5. Each player is dealt five cards. Each face card is 10, Aces are always worth 1, and everything else is what it is. The object is to GET THE LOWEST (total 5 card count) ASAP or spread. You can spread 2 ways. With three of a kind like 8 8 8 or three of the same suit in a row like 456 or clubs. When you "spread" you then have to dish out a card. Then you are only left with two cards usually. Once all five cards have been dealt to all players most of the time, anyone with 24 or LOWER (off the deal) is a threat to SHOOT or DROP (as in drop their hand & try to win immediately by being the lowest). The GOOD is that you might be able to win quickly, but the BAD is that IF YOU GET CAUGHT DROPPING (like you drop 23 off the deal & someone else CATCHES YOU with 19) then you owe the person who caught you DOUBLE!! Now, TONKING OUT is how you get the BIG MONEY. When you have SPREAD early in the game and you are left with 2 cards and then it's your turn and you have to draw a card from the deck. Let's say you have 2 & 4 of diamonds. If you pluck the 3 of Diamonds then that is a SPREAD (three in a row) and a TONK OUT. EVERYBODY then pays you double. Tonk can be played for any amount. I have played for $100 per hand but I know of a circle where they played as high as $300 a game with $100 on FIRST LOW & $100 on High Spade (those are SIDE POTS). Hope this explains the game a little.

Very good discription.I would have said 5 card rummy...We play Win 100 Double 200 get caught 300 so if you a good bluffer you can get that King 'cause he was scared to run with A2.
