Lay out the playing cards in a row of 7. Use double sided tape to stick them in place. Right below that lay another row of 6 playing cards. Continue to alternate rows of 7 and 6 until you have used the entire deck of cards. Tip: Make sure to shuffle the cards before laying them out so that they aren't all in order.

Beside each example of the poker hand write which ranking it is. You can use a marker, stickers or your Cricut to write out each of the poker hand rankings. I used my Cricut and black vinyl to mark each of my poker hand examples.

On the left-hand side of the board use your Cricut and black vinyl or a black marker to write "Dart Poker". Add decorative elements like the suits from the card deck to make your game stand out.

Continue playing the game throughout the evening until everyone has had a turn. The player with the best 5 card hand at the end of the night wins the pot. Tip: I would suggest placing the board up against something sturdy like a wall to ensure it doesn't fall over as players play the game.
