Poke is a semi-cooperative game of betting and hand management using the principles of Poker, with many twists and turns, where players play against the table and bet according to what they expect their hand to be.
Each player has their own hand of 5 poker cards. The dealer also has an open hand of 5 cards that can, in some situations, be exchanged for the players' cards. It's possible for the dealer to win the game, so pay attention to prevent that from happening! Otherwise, everyone will be without Poke today! 😆
Inspired by poker hands, but faster and easier to learn
Fans of The Gang, Schotten Totten, and Liar’s Poker will find a similar kind of tension, but with a different twist.
Having the strongest hand is not always the best option
Contracts can score even more points than bets, rewarding players for pursuing different goals.
Bluffing matters, but timing matters even more
Mastering the game means knowing when to force a bet, when to stay out, and when to simply take your chances.
