Poker Squares.
Twenty-five cards, one at a time, into a five by five grid. Every row and column scores as a poker hand. Place for flushes, pray for the full house.
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.
