Four different suits and ranks

Badugi is a triple-draw lowball game. Your best hand is four cards of different suits and different ranks — a 'badugi' — ranked as a low. A3♠ 4♥ 5♦ 7♣ (all different suits) is a 7-badugi. Lower top card is better: a 6-badugi beats a 7-badugi.

If two players make a badugi, compare the highest card first (like lowball): 6-4-3-2 beats 7-5-4-A. Then next cards if needed. Aces are low.
