Features

Poker, but at a noisy folk fair. Build a lucky hand, hire a crew of merry Jesters and watch your score shoot through the roof. Every run is fresh, and no two are alike.

Learn in a minute

  • You hold 8 cards. Pick up to 5 and play a poker hand: a pair, a straight, a flush, a full house…
  • Hand score = points × multiplier. The stronger the hand, the bigger the score.
  • Reach the gate's target to earn coins and visit the shop.
  • Bad deal? Discard what you don't need and draw fresh cards.

Jesters — your crew

39 Jesters, each with a trick up their sleeve: the Jester raises your multiplier, the Gusli Player adds points, the Fair Maiden loves hearts, Vasilisa the Wise adores face cards, and Koschei the Deathless will save a lost run — once. Build a crew that fits your deck.

Masters of the fair

The third gate of every round belongs to a Fair Master with a rule of their own: the Lord of Hearts ignores hearts, the Skinflint leaves you 3 hands, and Misfortune makes you play exactly 5 cards. Outwit all six!

How to play

  1. You hold 8 cards. Pick 1 to 5 and play a poker hand: a pair, two pair, three of a kind, a straight, a flush, a full house, four of a kind or a straight flush.
  2. Hand score = points × multiplier. Points come from the hand and the cards themselves (ace 11, face cards 10). The multiplier comes from the hand and your Jesters.
  3. Each gate gives you 4 hands and 3 discards. A discard swaps the cards you don’t want for new ones.
  4. Reach the gate’s target before you run out of hands to earn coins and visit the shop. Miss it and the run is over.
