These nine poker-dice have 54 total sides, which contain every playing card from a standard deck of cards…plus 2 Wild cards!
The card faces are specifically arranged on the dice so that it is possible to achieve every 4-of-a-kind, every Straight Flush, and every Royal Flush.

Assigning hands makes the game more competitive for Head-to-Head results—and makes the game interesting for expert and novice players alike!
Are Both Players Assigned The Same Hand?
Yes!
Do I Still Get Points If My Opponent Rolls a Better Hand Than Me?
YES! As long as you complete the hand, you automatically get the base points for that hand.
How Do Bonus Points Work?
Players are awarded bonus points when they get a better hand than their opponent, and when they tie their opponent!
What If My Opponent And I Are Tied?
You both get bonus points!
What is a High Hand?
A High Hand is always the last hand on the scorecard, and is worth the most points (10). Think of it as a Freestyle Hand- Players have 3 rolls of the dice to roll the best possible hand they can. Players earn the 10 base points if they roll ANY hand, but just like the rest of the game the player who rolls the BEST High Hand wins the bonus points!
