Dad’s Poker comes with an initial set of 18 poker variants that players can enjoy (more to come in the future, suggestions welcomed!). The game is best in a dealer’s choice style, meaning the dealer chooses one of the games and the challenges is for players to adjust their play style to fit!

Draw Games: 5-card games where players get to replace cards.
Stud Games: games where the players cannot replace cards and some of players hand is exposed to the other players.
Community Card Games: games where players share ‘community cards’ (cards on the table for all to use) a style made famous with Texas Hold’em.
Many of the games include wild cards to make things more interesting!
