Wild cards in 5-card draw
We had a debate about this in my last home game. One said that wild cards can't be used to complete flushes. Another said wild can be anything at all.
Are there any general guidelines?

Re: Wild cards in 5-card draw
The standard rule is that a wild card can be anything. There are games in which a wild card can only be used to complete a straight or flush (like in Pai-Gow). I have never heard of a rule where a wild card can't be used to make a flush, and I believe this would have to be specified before the game is called.

In the old days in Gardena, the Bug ( a joker ) was used. It was partially wild, it could be an extra Ace, or complete a straight or flush.

It's commonly called "53 card draw". If a card is "wild" then it can be anything, AFAIK. Anything else would be a house rule.

Re: Wild cards in 5-card draw
This has also happened in my home game. We've had a number of new players come and go who have a different rule for their version of some crazy wild game. Some stud variations have wild, but only in the hole, or whatever. It's easiest to just very clearly explain the rules, then when the drunk guy still calls all his chips off with some nonsense at least everyone else heard the rules clear and simple and can back you up in a dispute.
If there becomes a common enough set of games with different rules it would make sense to post them as house rules so people could see them all the time.
