Hell of a Deal

Hell of a Deal is a cooperative poker game against The Devil Himself & all the minions of Hell. Of course, they all cheat! To compete, you’ll have to cheat like Hell... and the more you do, the more doomed you all become. Welcome to The Last Resort & Casino… and winning IS your last resort. To get to the Big Table, you’ll face off against diabolical bosses like Dedly Aloor, Jack Potts, The Brothers Dreadful, & Roul-ette, each of whom twists the game in unique ways. It’s real poker - as far as playing poker in Hell goes, with you all trying individually to beat the house. Every Boss changes how you will approach the hand and has a bare minimum hand to beat, should their dealt cards not pan out. It's a Texas Hold'em style game - and players get not two but three cards dealt to them (one up their sleeve for more options). You may earn powerful Favor cards that let you cheat, like making a four-card Flush, but at the cost of a Curse or suffering Temptation. Your chips will earn you Souls (the coin of the realm) which you'll need at the Big Table against The Devil Himself - or betting one of your five Power chips will gain you immediate abilities, like revealing one of the Boss's cards, or taking a face-up discard into your hand. But lose the hand and your wagered chips flip over to deliver harsh penalties. Suffer too much Temptation and the game ends in a loss. Manage to win against The Devil Himself and you might just earn your way back to the living. It has the feel of high stakes poker, with no cash on the table. And delivers a whole Poker Night in just 90 minutes. The retail edition of the game features 52 custom 11.5g poker chips and six neoprene play mats inside the box. The Community board mats alone fill a 28"x20" space at the center of the table making it feel like a full poker table. Hell of a Deal is made for board gamers who love poker - and even if you are relatively new to poker, its cooperative nature and in-game guides make it approachable enough for anyone to play. Poker is 100% skill and 50% luck. Being a good cheat helps too. Have a Lucky Day! —description from the publisher
