A game of poker solitaire. In the free game POKER SQUARE STUD you place cards in a 5x5 grid. Each row and each column is a scored as a poker hand. The objective is to maximize the sum of the 10 scores (five row hands and five column hands). In POKER SQUARE DRAW we add a twist where you can discard and re-draw up to five cards. No two discards are permitted in the same row or the same column. This makes POKER SQUARE DRAW more strategic than POKER SQUARE STUD. In POKER SQUARE TEXAS HOLD'EM you place your cards in a 5x5 grid or two common "hand" cards. Each row and column, together with the common "hand" cards, is scored as a Texas Hold'em poker hand. In POKER SQUARE OMAHA HOLD'EM you place your cards in a 5x5 grid or four common "hand" cards. EXACTLY THREE cards from each row and column, together with EXACTLY TWO common "hand" cards, is scored as a Omaha Hold'em poker hand. Omaha Hold'em is only available on the iPad. All three games are Game Center enabled so compare your scores with others around the globe!

Maverick's Solitaire is a unique solitaire game based on poker hands, inspired by an episode of the 'Maverick' TV show. The game also appeared in an episode of 'Alias Smith and Jones'. What are the odds of arranging 25 random cards into 5 named poker hands? Better than 80% — but that last hand will make you sweat. Here's how it works: • The deck is shuffled • The first 25 cards are dealt into 5 hands • Rearrange the cards until every hand is a named hand: • Royal Flush • Straight Flush • Four of a Kind • Full House • Flush • Straight • Three of a Kind • Two Pair • Pair High Card doesn't count as a named hand — if it did, you'd win every time, and where's the fun in that? == HOW TO PLAY == • Tap two cards to swap them, or • Drag a card onto another card to swap them == FEATURES == • Practice mode — play untimed with unlimited moves • Timed mode — race against the clock • Limited Moves mode — win within a set number of swaps • Play in portrait or landscape — on iPhone and iPad • Available in English, Spanish, and French • Customize the table color, card font, and card placeholders • Every deal is winnable-but-not-won: no game starts already finished • No ads. No purchases. No accounts.
