    “Sword & Poker” is an RPG game, based on the classic poker game.

    Unlike the recent RPG games that are usually complicated, we created an RPG game that is simple to use, so that everybody can enjoy.

    The game rules are simple!
    “Combine cards horizontally, vertically or diagonally to create a poker hand”
    Together with its simplicity, we also combined the fun elements of an RPG game and the shrewdness of card games to create a unique sense of fun.

    Sword and Poker captures the essence of a few genres, blending them into a lengthy and satisfying puzzle game.

    Sword & Poker gives me the same feeling that I get when I play PuzzleQuest. It has got that same "just one more battle, just one more" addictive flair.

    Sword & Poker is just awesome. The poker battles with monsters are spectacularly entertaining, especially as you dig deeper into the dungeon and pick up new weapons and items that serious affect the outcome of a hand.

    The gameplay is addicting and even with a clear end to the game, it'll take you some hours to finish. Everything is well-balanced, and the evolution of the game as you progress just makes it better.

    As ridiculous an idea as it sounds, Sword & Poker is a really fun game, and one that I find easy to recommend as a purchase.
