📖 About This Game
Poker Revolver is a semi-abstract game where both players take the role of a gambler-duelist in the Wild West. You are minding your own business at the poker table and someone challenges you to a dicey duel.
Players roll their dice secretly and simultaneously (grabbing their bullets), and then they take turns placing a die one by one (loading) onto the board (in the shape of two revolver cylinders) to see who can make the better poker combination (e.g. a Pair, Straight, Full House). Knockout your opponent before he knocks you out. Only one person walks away as a winner from a poker table.
This game involves a balance of randomness (your initial dice roll) for variability, skill (placement of your dice), as well as bluffing (just like poker).
