A cooperative poker game against the house of Hell, where you get a third hole card, the bosses all cheat, and every time you cheat back you get closer to damnation.
Three hole cards per playerBosses with unique cheating rulesFavor cards raise your doom
Who it's for
Poker-literate groups who want a cooperative twist on the game they already know.
Not for you if…
You have never played Hold'em or dislike two-hour card sessions.
Vibe's take
Rowdy and morally slippery – real poker reasoning underneath, wrapped in bosses who break the rules and tempt you into breaking more.
