25. (Chinese Poker - Badugi) Invent and solve a Chinese Poker variant using badugi rankings in the middle.

There is a 3-person, 17 card CP variant that is best 5-card high, best 2-7, best badugi, best 3-card high. In the Raymer variant, the 52nd card is turned over and the 2-7 hand with the highest ranked card of the same suit wins all ties. If you solve this variant, PM me; I know where we can get rich.

I thought of a 4-player, 13-card version: 5-card high in back; 4-card badugi in the middle; 4-card cribbage hand in front. Game is played with the bug, so a 53 card deck. After the hands are set, 53rd card is turned over and plays as part of the cribbage hands.
