Pokerkub (1983)

The Multi-Directional Poker Game That's Fun For Everyone.
From the Makers of the Original Rummikub.

In this fast-action poker board game for the entire family, players build the best "poker" hands possible to try to outscore their opponents.
Pokerkub is an exciting combination of Poker, where players build melds (straights, flushes, full houses, and 2, 3, or 4 of a kind), and your favorite crossword board game where strategically placed tiles can score double or triple their value.
Players place their tiles on the board, trying to score as many points as possible. Opponents add to existing melds to increase their chances of winning.
Strategy is keen. You must play offensively as well as defensively. But luck plays its part too. And the winner is undecided until the last play. So, if you're looking for a game of luck and strategy that's packed with excitement, you'll love Pokerkub.
