01How it worksSelf-paced · 1 attempt

Poker Squares is a strategy game built for the short window between meetings. The round is self-paced, with 1 attempt before the score locks. Plan two moves ahead. Or just one, honestly. The team-wide leaderboard rebuilds itself daily, so the only thing carrying from yesterday is bragging rights.

  1. 01
    Goal
    Place twenty-five cards into a five by five grid. Every row and every column scores as a poker hand, ten hands in all. Highest total wins.
  2. 02
    Placing
    Cards arrive one at a time from a shuffled deck. Tap any empty square to place the card. Once a card is down it stays down.
  3. 03
    Scoring
    A line scores the moment its fifth card lands. Pairs earn 2, straights 15, flushes 20, full houses 25, four of a kind 50, and a royal flush 100.
  4. 04
    Strategy
    Columns for flushes and rows for pairs is the classic shape. The last five cards decide whether it holds.
