Description: 
You are at your friend’s house for your routine poker gathering. The beverages are cold and the snacks are tasty. Before you know it, it’s your turn to deal and you have NO CLUE what game to call! Are you going to play 5-card draw for the 5th round in a row? Is it going to be the same 7-card game with 2’s wild because your dog is 2 and has 2 eyes? Sick and tired of Texas Hold ‘Em for the umpteenth time?

Don’t be stuck in a game calling rut any longer.

Poker Companion has over 200 games for your poker playing pleasure!

This is simply a collection of dealer’s choice poker games. No analysis of poker hands. No betting and bluffing strategies. No great insight into the world of poker or the keys to winning a World Series of Poker bracelet. All you’ll get here are the games that we play and enjoy and how we play them. There’ll be some old games that everyone has probably played over the years, and hopefully many new ones for you and your poker group to learn and enjoy.

Now in an easy-to-take-with-you app there’s no excuse for not being ready to deal a game with a little more excitement than the boring regulars. Page through your favorite category of games to find one to play. Or, select a random game when you can’t make the decision yourself. Even set up your favorites before the night starts so you’re sure to not miss any games you’d like to deal.

You now have the tool to ensure a fun night of breaking the deck. No more excuses, now shuffle up and deal!
