Five cards in your hand, two chances to improve them, and a dealer across the table doing the same. Crown Five is draw poker for Apple Watch, with the full game on iPhone as well. There is nothing to bet and nothing to buy your way past: the only thing that counts is the hand you finish with. THE DEAL Five cards each. Tap any you want rid of, hit DRAW, and fresh ones take their place. You may do that twice, and the dealer trades cards in front of you whenever you do. Hit STAND at any point to stop drawing and compare hands. A HAND IS WORTH ITS RANK Points come from what you make, not from what you risk. Win with anything up to two pair and you earn one. Three of a kind up to a full house earns two. Four of a kind and better earns three. A loss costs one point, a tie costs nothing, and the score never dips under zero. THREE DRAWS A DAY The Morning Draw, the Afternoon Draw and the Evening Draw each open on your own clock, and each deals one deck to every player on earth: the same three rounds, scored out of nine. Play any one to keep your streak alive, or all three to chase a perfect day. THE HOUSE PICKS THE TABLE Every Draw arrives dressed in a set of its own: a card back, a card front, a table and a music track picked from the whole collection, the same for everyone playing that Draw. The screen flashes white, the room changes, and you get to play on the rarest tables long before you have earned them. WEAR WHAT YOU EARN Twenty card backs, twelve card fronts, seventeen tables and six original music tracks: 55 items. The tables run from woven felts to carrara, nero marble, malachite, agate and sandstone. Each is tied to something you did at the table, from rounds won to the first four of a kind you ever hold. Not one of them is for sale. ON THE WATCH FACE Twelve Apple Watch complications (there are no iPhone widgets): a countdown to the next Draw that tells you when one is open, the table you have equipped, a tile that cycles through every table you have earned, eight named tables, and the Crown Five crest for the round slots. A tap opens the game. TWO SCREENS, ONE GAME The iPhone version is the whole game, not a companion view. Progress moves both ways between watch and phone. No account, no sign in, no connection needed. ALSO IN THE BOX • Game Center boards for the Morning, Afternoon and Evening Draw, plus a global lifetime board • A full record: win rate, streaks, pat wins and every hand you have ever made • Reduce Motion, Larger Text, separate music and sound levels, a haptics switch WHAT IS FREE The complete game, all three Draws every day, and every reward the Draws hand out. Free play gives you 5 rounds an hour on Apple Watch and 5 on iPhone. The three Draws never count toward that limit.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Underkeep at none against Crown Five's 4. Crown Five's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
