I love this game, and I should, because I'm the designer's (John Cooper) wife! Anyway, players can play how they like, of course, but in your demo you had the one star chip as the highest, but actually that's the lowest. More stars, more strength. Also, you are not supposed to speculate on what other players have in their hands. The rule is you are not to talk about what is or can be in anyone's hand, not just your own. You can point out flush or straight possibilities that the board shows, but you shouldn't say that you think Dave has that. Thanks for playing and reviewing!

I wish the world would move out of the 1800s. There is no reason card decks are not 4 colors now. Back then, there was good reasons to make card decks 2 colors. 4, much easier to see across the table which is why tournaments are starting to use them. We need to move this to board games too IMO.

I disagree that people need to know poker to play this, I think it's the opposite, I think this is an amazing teaching tool for poker. You can teach them about the potential hands around the table as the game is being played, and use the chips as a stand in for betting patterns. You learn to get good at this in a stress free friendly environment, and then you use those skills to play real poker a lot better.
