Detailed Instructions
How to play:
Welcome to Good Ol' Poker, the classic game of cards, but with some twists.
- To start things off, pick a character that will represent you in the game. Each character has unique attributes (like aggressiveness of play style or cheat ability) and special ability (like the ability to peek into opponents cards).
- The purpose of the game is to get the best score (amount of money) in a poker round. A round consists of 15 hands. The hand is a classic set of dealing, betting and drawing.
- You can use your character's special ability to cheat in the game, but only when the Confidence bar is loaded to maximum.
- The bar loads 10% each hand and 35% when you win a hand. Use your ability very carefully, as sometimes the opponents will notice that something is wrong! Good luck!
Poker Rules:
- The poker play consists of hands, separate duels between players.
- In the beginning of a hand, one of the players deals cards, then everybody bets money, followed by drawing (exchange of unwanted cards), betting again, and finally - the showdown, in which every player who didn't chicken out during betting shows his or her cards and the winner is selected.
- The winner is selected by comparing strength of each player's cards. There are specific sets of cards, same or consecutive by suits or ranks, which have different strength. The best one is poker, a consecutive set of ranks of the same suit.
- There are many twists to this game, and specific rules, like putting big and small blinds, antes, side pots, but for more thorough explanation click the Instructions at the top of the main menu to view the in-game guide.
