POKT

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

It's so fun and elegant you'll end up carrying it everywhere.

You can explain the rules in less than 2 minutes.

And yet, it will make you think and plan every turn, hoping you haven't missed the catastrophic move your opponent could make to turn the tide of the game.

This is POKT!

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

Rules are so minimal they are printed on the back side of the box. You can learn them quickly, throw the box in a drawer and forget about it: just hold onto the cards for a satisfying travel-friendly experience.

The cards are played on a 4x4 imaginary grid. A coin is useful to decide things randomly, but feel free to find a more lightweight 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 they have no choice but to surrender or be crushed. But hold on, there's an important catch.

All 24 cards are different from each other, and have special rules that bend the way each one is played. The card concepts are designed to help you understand and remember easily each one's 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.

A very special thanks to her, for everything.
