Artwork

As a designer, your job (to the best of your knowledge) is to list all the needed artwork and the vision you have of your game to the artists. But they have to see the same vision you do. Since this is an internal design document and not a product for sale, provide detailed photographs and pictures of your world from any source. Borrow from the Internet, scan photos from books and magazines, and get on paper the closest visual to what you are envisioning as possible.

Tournament

click to expand

A tournament is a four-player game for a preset “entry fee” where the winner gets an additional money prize and in some rooms a “prize” to be added to their Prize Vault (or trophy room). All players keep their winnings. Early exiting from the room forfeits the “entry fee.” Reputation points needed to advance to the other floors are gained by participating in tournaments. The player with the most money after 20 hands of poker (any variation but only one per tournament) wins.

Cards

There are 52 cards (or one deck) in poker. There are four suits named clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades (“alpha” order) with rankings from a two or deuce (low) to the ace (high). In a low game like Chicago Lo, the ace can be the lowest card or the highest card or both.

click to expand

All cards are placed in racks for the four- and eight-player poker games.

Most casinos use the “reverse alpha” order to break ties, meaning that the best suit is a spade, followed by the hearts, diamonds, and clubs.

click to expand

Whole Cards

The 52 card faces and the decorated back of the card are used as the “community cards,” cards shown in the middle of the table and used by all of the players such as center cards in Texas Hold ’Em, Omaha, and other variations if there are not enough cards left to play (Seven Card Stud with eight players needs 56 cards so the last card must be a “community card”).

Discarded Cards

click to expand

In Draw Poker, the player may discard his unwanted cards in order to receive new replacement cards. The player clicks on the card (as a toggle On/Off) to turn the clicked-on card “gray,” meaning “to discard.” Since the game places the cards in a rack, the cards (all 52) need to be only half drawn.

No Alpha Round Cards

All 52 cards plus the back of the card, drawn half size since the cards are placed in a rack, are mainly used as the top-right card without a shadow.

click to expand

Fake Drop Round Cards

All 52 cards plus the back of the card, drawn half size since the cards are placed in a rack, are mainly used as the “discarded” cards beneath another card.

click to expand

Fake Drop Shadow Cards

All 52 cards plus the back of the card, drawn half size since the cards are placed in a rack, are mainly used as the cards beneath another card (not a discarded card).
