🎲 Dice Poker 🃏

A small experiment in combining card and dice mechanics.

I wanted to see if I could mash up poker-style scoring with a simple dice-rolling loop using just a standard deck of cards. It’s a solo game inspired by the fast-paced feel of tactical card games, but stripped down to its basic parts.

The core idea is simple: you have six decks on the table, and you roll a die to draw from them. You’re trying to build the best hand you can over 15 rounds, with a limit of 5 rolls per hand.

It isn't a highly polished production. It’s a proof-of-concept to see if the mechanic is actually fun to play. It probably isn't perfectly balanced yet, so if you find a way to break the game or get an impossible score, let me know.

📜 The Rules

  • The Setup: 6 decks in a row. Each deck has 7 cards face-down and 1 face-up on top. You start with 4 cards in your hand.
  • Drawing Cards: Roll a die to take the top card from the matching deck (1-6).
  • Limits: You get 5 rolls per hand, and you can hold a maximum of 7 cards.
  • Scoring: Pick up to 5 cards from your hand to play. Standard Poker ranks determine your points.
  • Duration: The game lasts for 15 hands. Your final score is your total for the run.

✨ Features

  • Custom Rules: You can change the multipliers for every hand type in the settings menu.
  • Score Tracking: Local tracking to save your personal bests.
  • Simple Interface: Minimalist design focused on the cards and the rolls.
