Gypsy King Software releases Poker Dice 1.0
A cross between poker and the traditional 5-dice games, Poker Dice offers several gameplay variations: Standard, Down the Line, Wild Cards, and Lots of Zingers. Down the Line is the toughest nut to crack, as you must score each category in order, Aces, then Twos, then Threes, right down the line. For those of you waiting to meet Madame Murghi, she makes her entrance in this game.
A cross between poker and the traditional 5-dice games, Poker Dice offers several gameplay variations: Standard, Down the Line, Wild Cards, and Lots of Zingers. Down the Line is the toughest nut to crack, as you must score each category in order, Aces, then Twos, then Threes, right down the line. You can guess what Wild Cards do. If you luck into one, you set the number and suit. Each roll of the dice offers new chances at more wild cards. Lots of Zingers allows you to score Zingers over and over again in the same game, each additional Zinger giving you a free extra turn, even in multi-player games.
For those of you waiting to meet Madame Murghi, she makes her entrance in this game. Get a high score and the Madame will appear from the murky depths to tell your fortune. Over 1000 fortunes. For those of you who loved Killer Dice, this is the logical sequel, with several variations and added categories to score in, and the introduction of Madame Murghi the fortune teller in all her wicked glory.
