Sword and Poker is a fascinating combination of genres - it's a role-playing game layered on top of a poker game. You battle monsters by making poker hands - you draw two cards each turn and form them into a hand, which deals damage to the monster. The stronger the hand, the more damage is dealt. Better hands also allow you to gain extra abilities that increase your damage output. You can also equip yourself with different weapons and items that make your attacks more effective.
The original Sword and Poker (and its sequel) were brilliant games that combined poker with RPG elements to create a unique and interesting play experience. They had great graphics, excellent gameplay and were a lot of fun. The original dungeon-filled battles were very well-structured with the challenge level increasing as you went through floors in the tower. You also had to form certain poker hands to win, which added a little strategy to the game.
Both games were available in both 'lite' free-to-play versions and premium pay once to unlock full game forms. Unfortunately, the latter were muscled out of the App Store by a spin-off game released by Konami called Swords and Poker Adventures in 2014.
The battles take place on a three-by-three grid of poker cards with your player character standing in the middle. You then lay down two cards each turn and form a hand - each type of hand does a different amount of damage to the monster you're fighting. During a battle you're given a set amount of coins that deplete as you play, and your player or the monster you're fighting runs out of them when either is defeated.
