HIGHEST STAKES

In a melancholic near-future, you find yourself over-burdened by an impossible medical debt that no average person could imagine paying off in a lifetime. However, there is one way to make a lot of cash quickly...

Wager your life at the HIGHEST STAKES table, risking it all over a game of heads-up 5-card draw poker, with a twist. The rules are standard for 5-card poker, with a modified discard turn. Each player has a set amount of lives, where you must bankrupt the dealer to win the round. Win all the rounds and earn the chance to leave the table with your life, and a ton of cash!

The dealer has no intention of playing fair, and neither should you! At the start of each round, you'll have the chance to spend your chips on magical charms and items that alter the game. Utilize different charms to give you more redraws, multiply your pot winnings, or even improve your draw luck. Use consumables in a pinch when you really need to secure the hand, but keep watch of the dealer, as she can do the same. But be careful, as the more you spend each round leaves you with less to bet with. A fresh stack of chips is granted each new round, with extra rake-back if you won the previous round. A well-built roster of charms is crucial to surviving the hardest, yet highest paying, tables.

Celebrate your victories at the game's full service bar, complete with a handful of drinks to order. Drinking liquid courage before a game will improve your stats, giving you even more of an edge. Curate your build preferences by banishing unwanted charms, so only your favourites are on offer. Want even more gambling? Rip open some limited-edition deck packs, unlocking new skins for your cards at the table. Work your way up the table ladder...
