PokerField

PokerField is a turn-based tactical board game about placement, not luck. You lay playing cards onto a small grid, and the moment a card lands it is read by two grammars at the same time: it can complete a poker figure along a row or column, and it can join a blackjack line that sums to exactly 21. A single placement can build a combo in one direction, extend a 21-line in another, and threaten to capture an enemy cell - all at once. There is no marching, no dice-luck in the core game, no hidden math. The whole game is where and what you choose to place.

Every combo you leave standing on the board pushes a single shared pendulum toward your side at the end of your turn. Drag it all the way to your edge and you win. Your opponent is pulling it the other way with combos of their own. It is a tug-of-war fought with poker hands.

The Duel

Two sides share one static 5x5 grid. You start in one corner, your rival in the opposite one, and you build outward toward the center where the real fighting happens. Every turn is a single, meaningful decision - one card, placed with intent. Games are short, sharp, and full of lead changes as the pendulum swings back and forth.

Combos & Capture

Poker and blackjack live on the same board and feed the same scoreboard:

Poker figures - pair, two pair, three of a kind, straight, flush, full house, four of a kind, and the mighty straight flush - each sit at a tier and each push the pendulum by a set force.

Blackjack lines - any straight run of your own cards summing to exactly 21 scores too, from three cards up to five. A five-card 21 that is also all one suit becomes a blackjack-flush: one of the strongest plays in the game.

Capture by seniority - a stronger combo standing next to a weaker enemy cell lets you drop a card on top and steal it. Higher tier beats lower; equal never beats equal. Your figures also defend the cells they occupy, so building combos is both offense and armor.

Nothing is decided by high-card rank or a lucky flip - capture is decided by the tier of the combo you built. Strategy, not chance.

Modes

Campaign - a chapter-based single-player run against a cast of AI opponents.

Quick Match - jump straight into a game versus the AI, or hand the device back and forth in local hotseat for two players on one screen.

Online Play - take the duel online with 1v1 ranked matches over Steam. Matches are peer-to-peer, deterministic, and lockstep - what you see is exactly what your opponent sees. Win rated games to climb the Elo leaderboard. If a rival drops mid-match, the game keeps going: a bot takes over their seat so your match always reaches a real result.

Dice Mode - a full alternate variant that swaps the deck for a shared three-die bank. Roll, reroll, and place dice to form poker-dice figures on the same grid - and the two dice you don't play are handed to your opponent. Same board, same capture, a completely different tension.
