DEUCES WILD

The most important thing to remember when playing Deuces Wild is that the four two’s (deuces) in the deck can be substituted for any other card, for any rank, in any suit. For example, a deuce of spades could be used as the fifth card to complete a straight flush in diamonds. You never discard a deuce.
