Description

Get ready for a thrilling game of strategy and luck with Cross Up Poker, a classic card game designed by G. W. "Jerry" D'Arcey. First published in 1968, this game is easy to learn and can be enjoyed by 2 to 4 players in about 60 minutes. Each player is dealt a card and places it in their own secret rack, trying to make the best possible poker hands. As players bet on their hands using numbered discs, the game becomes a test of bluffing and betting skills. With ten hands to bet on, players must strategically place their discs to win the most chips. The player with the best hand in each position wins the chips bet by everyone, and the player with the highest total in chips at the end is declared the winner. With its unique blend of abstract strategy and card game mechanics, Cross Up Poker is a fun and engaging game that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
