A puzzle twist on a revolutionary new way to play cards where mental skill and savvy replace chance. Compete indirectly against other live players in Skillz® tournaments for CASH or FUN!!! Pick’Em Puzzle® is played directly against 2 to 4 bots. It is an interesting twist on no-betting, all-skill UnPoker where cards are dealt to the players based on player card selection rather than randomly like poker, so that mental skill has replaced chance. Pick’Em Puzzle® is a puzzle game as explained below. The interactive tutorial teaches you this enticing. fun game that is easy-to-learn but hard-to-master! It’s you against some of the smartest bots in the West. From hand-to-hand, you share with them the same face-up, randomly dealt three community cards and card selection limited deck that contains fewer than 25 cards. There are then four player card selection rounds. In each, after every player first privately selects a card from the same limited deck, any player who has selected the same card as another player or one dealt face down on round 1 is dealt a no-value THWART card. Otherwise, that player is dealt their selected card. Cards are dealt face down on round 1 and then dealt face up on the remaining 3 card-selection rounds. Pick’Em Puzzle® has an UNDO button that enables you to backup one or more rounds at any time and then to move forward. The goal of each hand is to find a winning strategy using the fewest number of UNDOs as possible and a hand is not over until you win it. What is your strategy in trying to make the best poker-style hand? Do you try to a) build the best possible hand, b) block another player or c) improve your hand but avoid being blocked? In Pick’Em Puzzle®, player card selection adds the exciting dimensions of building and blocking to gameplay to create a playing environment that is highly interactive, engaging and competitive. A tournament game consists of five hands played in 3 minutes or less. Earn points for the quality of your winning hand — and lose points for each UNDO used. You also get points for time left on the clock. There is no betting! Just smart playing. Your final tournament score is compared to another live player who is playing with the same exact community cards, card selection deck and bots. And whomever gets the most points... wins! When a Pick’Em Puzzle® game ends, in either an offline Practice session or Skillz® tournament, you can view a snapshot of each hand's final screen while on the Game Summary screen. Pick’Em Puzzle® is an absorbing, exciting game for all. Playing it also makes you a better thinker, strategist and card player! (And maybe rich, too!) Pick’Em Puzzle® is a companion app to Pick’Em Blitz®, which gives you in each hand only one shot to win without having the opportunity to try alternate card selection strategies. Puzzle and Blitz are in a sense opposite sides of the same coin! Note that Skillz® real prize tournaments are not available in the following states: AZ, AR, CT, DE, IN, LA, ME, MT, SC, SD and TN. If you don’t live in a real prize-enabled region, you can play for fun with Skillz® virtual currency.
