Side project: Puzzle Poker

A screen shot of Puzzle Poker: an array of cards in a 5x3 grid

Puzzle Poker is based on Reiner Knizia's Deck Buster game which I used to enjoy playing on my iPad until the developer stopped updating it and it became incompatible with newer versions of iOS.

I built is using plain JS & CSS over a couple of afternoons with some heavy lifitng being done by the pokersolver NPM module. I still play it occasionaly 6 years later, it's a fun game and works pretty well with touch screens and keyboard controls (arrow keys to choose a slot and return to place a card).

Play it here .
