Poker Tiles Game (2005)

About this game

Poker Tiles Game combines the strategy of a tile game, and the excitement of real poker action! This game basically combines the idea of Scrabbles tile-laying crossword system, and applies poker hands instead of words to it. Players earn points by playing poker hands out of the tiles in their rack, with the opportunity to double or triple their score with wild tiles.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 9 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
