Partner Poker

Partner Poker is designed for 4-8 players, offering a unique twist: each player is paired with a partner, necessitating collaborative efforts to secure victory. The gameplay revolves around each player possessing half of a Poker hand, which they must merge with their partner's hand to form a Poker hand. Each round unfolds through four distinct phases: The Flop introduces a central card known as the Piggy, the Gift grants every player an additional card, the Volley prompts each player to exchange a card with their partner, and culminates in the Showdown where players unveil their combined Poker hands to determine the victor. —description from the designer
