📖 About This Game
2 Minutes to Learn. A Lifetime of Entertainment.
Build, bluff, and outplay your opponents in this quick-thinking card game where poker hands meet tactical grid-building.
Each player is dealt 5 cards and takes turns drawing 1 and playing 1, slowly crafting poker hands across their own felt. But you're not just playing your hand—you're watching everyone else's. Tension builds as the deck runs out...
When all sections are filled, it’s showtime. The strongest hands in each section win gold coins, and one step closer to victory.
Use the dynamic Peril Cards to enhance gameplay.
6-7 minutes of highly-strategic hands. 30-35 minutes to crown a victor. 45 minute games if you find yourself playing with Captain Wadoobie :)
