   No suit ranks higher than any other suit in poker.

5. Complete the rule about card suits:

   In poker, all four suits are ___ in rank, so no suit can ___ another.

   Answer: In poker, all four suits are equal in rank, so no suit can beat another.

   Poker suits have no rank over one another.

6. Build the rule a player should remember at a game night:

   Answer: All suits have equal value so no suit wins on suit alone

   Every suit shares the exact same rank in poker.

7. A friend at your table says: 'My spade beats your diamond because spades are highest.' Are they right?

   • No, no suit beats another suit in poker.
   • Yes, spades are the highest suit.

   Answer: No, no suit beats another suit in poker.

   Suits are equal, so a spade never beats a diamond.
