Poker Challenge drops you into a board challenge you can start in a couple of seconds. It leans on card, so expect plenty of replay value. It works the same on desktop, tablet and phone, and your progress picks up where the game left it.

How to play Poker Challenge
There is very little to learn before your first run. The controls are listed in full in the table below — there are only a handful of them. It fills the player in landscape, so use the fullscreen button on desktop and turn your phone sideways on mobile. Expect the first attempt to be a write-off; that is normal here.
Controls

|---|---|
| Mouse | Pick up and place cards |
| Double click | Auto-move a card to the foundation |
On mobile: Tap and swipe on screen. Turn your phone sideways — this game is designed for landscape and fills a horizontal screen.
Why it is worth playing
Plenty of board games want a tutorial and ten minutes of setup before anything happens. Poker Challenge does not — it is playable from the first second. The result is something you can pick up cold months later.
