Hex Poker mixes classic poker with the drag-and-connect feel of a matching puzzle, played on a hexagon of cards. Drag across any 5 connected cards to make a poker hand. Better hands earn more, and fresh cards fill the gaps. Simple to learn, but going far takes careful planning. FEATURES • Easy to learn: if you know poker hands, you already know the goal • A hex-grid board: cards can connect in up to six directions, so there's more than one way to build a hand • Crisp cards and a clean design on iPhone and iPad • Detailed statistics: best score, most hands, and a count of every hand type you've made • A new shuffle every game, so no two runs play the same • No ads and no in-app purchases • Plays offline • Play money only: there's no real-money gambling and no prizes HOW TO PLAY The game deals 19 cards from a standard deck into a hexagon. Drag across 5 connected cards to make a hand, and earn play money based on its poker rank, from High Card up to Royal Flush. New cards from the deck replace the ones you used. Once the deck runs out, those spaces stay empty. Out of good hands? Redeal a fresh deck, as long as you have enough to cover the cost. The cost goes up every time you redeal. The game ends when no 5 connected cards are left and you can't afford a redeal. Make as many hands as you can. Good luck!
