Description
Poka-Tile is a very simple adaptation of poker to a boardgame. There are 108 square tiles depicting a double deck of cards plus jokers. Each player has 4 tiles in hand (on a rack) at a time and must play them to form a row of exactly 5 tiles (the first player has a bonus space to play from). Extra tiles are discarded, so there is no hand management aspect. Rules are provided for draw and 7-tile variants, neither of which adds much to the basic idea.
