About GridPoker

GridPoker is a browser card game by Silver Dubloons, made in Unity. The table is a 5x5 grid laid over a desert scene with cacti, rock formations and a steam train. The goal is to make the best possible poker hand in each of the five rows, five columns and two diagonals.

You are dealt five cards and place them where you like on the grid, then lock them in before the next five arrive. Once a card is locked it stays put, so each placement is a bet on what the later hands will bring. When all 25 cards are down, the hands are scored and added up into a total score on screen.

The game loads a set daily seed the first time you play each day, so everyone gets the same deal, and a Copy to Discord button in the menu lets you share your result. After the daily you can keep playing with New Game, either with a random deal or with a seed you type in. The menu tracks how many dailies you have played, your average daily score, your best daily score and your top score overall.

Pressing Q hides the interface so you can look at the scenery, and W shows the exact score for each finished row, column and diagonal. Stats are kept in browser storage, which some browsers and script blockers prevent, and they reset when the game is updated. It suits players who like poker solitaire and quick score-chasing puzzles.

How to play GridPoker

1. Open the itch.io page and start the game; the daily seed loads automatically.
2. Look at the five cards you have been dealt and place each one on the 5x5 grid.
3. Press Lock In to fix them in place and receive the next five.
4. Repeat until all 25 cards are placed, aiming for strong poker hands in every row, column and diagonal.
5. Read your total score and use Copy to Discord in the menu to share it.

Tips

• Keep one row or column open for flushes and another for straights rather than mixing suits everywhere.
• Remember the diagonals also score; the centre square counts toward both of them.
• Press W to see exactly what each completed line is worth and learn which hands pay most.
• Replay the same deal later by typing its seed into the box next to New Game.
