Pogo Possum Posse Poker

What is a Deck Hand game? It is an 18 card game that is used in conjunction with a standard Poker deck. Yeehaw! Get ready to play possum, round-up poker hands, and throw some outlaws in the hoosegow. In Pogo Possum Posse Poker, (2-4 players) take on the role of bounty hunters working alongside the famous Sheriff Wyatt O. Possum and his trusty pogo stick, Betsy. For greenhorns and veterans alike, players will use a unique card skipping mechanic to lasso up some playing cards to make specific poker hands, while they scout out and capture gangs of lawbreaking varmints in the Wild West. Combined with a standard deck of cards, your family is fixin’ to have a hootin', hollerin', and growlin’ good time, and see why Pogo Possum Posse Poker puts the ‘wild’ in the Wild Wild West. The goal of Pogo Possum Posse Poker is to be the bounty hunter at the end of the game with the most money. On your turn, you choose one of three actions: 1. Posse up!: Gather cards to add to your hand. You will automatically hop one space forward around the Okey Dokey Corral (because you're on pogo sticks!). From there, you'll have the option of collecting all the cards at that location or discarding a card from your hand to advance another space. You can continue to discard cards and advance until you choose to stop and pick up cards. 2. Scout an outlaw: Track and get the bead on outlaws. By playing the specific poker hand in cards from your hand, you can scout outlaws from the Badlands, and take them to your play area. Each outlaw will give you a special power that will let you use some cards as wild cards, collect extra cards, or move extra spaces! You can have up to three outlaws in front of you at any given time. 3. Jail an outlaw: Play larger poker hands on the outlaws you've tracked to flip them and put them in jail! You will lose that outlaw's special power, but gain the cash bounty for big points at the end of the game. Every jailed outlaw also increases your hand limit by +1, so you can get back on your horse and posse up again! When the outlaw deck is empty, all players get one more turn to play poker hands and jail characters they have tracked. Then you'll count up your score. Players score the cash bounty on all jailed outlaws, a cash bonus for outlaws from the same gang, and one point for each outlaw you still have scouted. The player who collected the most reward money is the rootin'est, tootin'est possum in the wild, wild West!
