6 itemsAbout the Game
Pokaban is a puzzle game where you push cards around to make poker hands. There are marked positions that correlate to a poker hand on the screen. Once enough cards are added to a hand it will be compared with the dealer's hand. If all of your hands beat the dealer then you win the match!
Push cards:
When pushed into a slot the card is added to a hand
Once a hand is completed it will be compared with the dealer
You cannot
Push more than one card
Pull cards
Wild cards can take the place of any other card. It makes creating poker hands more challenging. Like other cards you can place wild cards into marked positions to add to your hand.
Positions on the game board can be marked as wild. Placing a card there will turn all cards sharing the rank and suit into wild cards. Be careful though this will affect the dealer' cards as well.
These modifiers affect the dealer's cards as well so use them carefully.
Placing a card onto a position marked with another suit will swap the suits of both cards.
