Description

It's so tiny you could hide it your wallet.

It's so fun it makes no sense not to carry it everywhere.

You could explain the rules in less than 2 minutes.

And yet, it will make you think and plan every turn, hoping you didn't miss the catastrophic move your opponent could make to turn the tables.

This is POKT!

A two player duel card game that keeps things small & simple so you can pick it up anytime, anywhere and still keep you on the edge of the seat.

Rules are so minimal they printed on the back side of the box. You can learn them quickly, throw the box in a drawer and forget about it: we are serious about the minimalistic mood here, just hold onto the cards.

The cards are played on a 4x4 imaginary grid. I told you we are serious about minimalism. A coin is useful to decide randomly things, but feel free to find a more minimalistic way of doing that.

Cards have 4 numbers on their sides, when a card moves, compare numbers side by side, if your card's number is higher, flip the other card to make it yours. Steal your opponent's cards until there is no choice but to surrender or be crushed. But it's way more than that.

All the 24 cards are different from each other, and have very special rules that really bend the way each one is played. The simple concepts are designed to help understand and remember easily the cards' powers: fire spreads, turtle resists, hand grabs, shadow copies and so on.

That's roughly the idea, now you need to play it to fully understand it :)

Some trivia!

  • Game is prepared to be able to play 2 simultaneous games with 1 deck, so you may get up to 4 players on board!
  • 24 cards is exactly 1 printed & cut sheet, that's why the number: minimal waste :)
  • You can ignore the card's rules and just play with the numbers, make the board larger, make your own cards... POKT loves mods <3
  • Cards are square, 2.5in (64mm) each, so a game takes 10x10in (26x26cm): you should be able to play it over a laptop or an empty seat, good for traveling.
