Cat Word Poker
Tags for Cat Word Poker
Description
Cat Word Poker is a casual word-building twist on modern Texas Hold-em poker.
Players are each dealt two letter cards in their hand, then as the round progresses, 5 community letter cards are added onto the table.
Whoever can form the best scoring word before the end of the round will win the pot!
The standard betting rules of poker apply, so expect mind games and bluffing shenanigans.
How to Play
Click or drag letter cards to form the best word you can before the last round of betting ends.
Developer Updates
Version 0.2.8: New reworked AI, with multiple unlockable opponents. Added Word building tutorial.

It's not very intuitive and not explained in-game, so I'll just mention that the words can be scored by taking each individual letter and adding its value to all the letters after it. This means that high-scoring letters at the start of words are much more valuable than if they were at the end - so WOE is worth 4 + (4+1=5) + (4+5+1=10) = 19 points, but OWE is only worth 1 + (1+4=5) + (1+5+1=7) = 13 points.
On the one hand, this makes certain words almost arbitrarily more valuable than other words, but on the other, it makes Scrabble word finders a lot less useful on their own.

The display has been reworked to show multipliers for each letter, rather than the chained additions shown previously. The mathematical result is identical though.

Developer, do you think that we will ever see a few wildcards added to the game? Just a small handful, to occasionally shake the play up a little.
You're the first person to mention wildcards, but it's something that's crossed my mind. It might make the poker bit feel more random, but I can see how it might be interesting in some cases - I'd have to add an interface for picking the letter, or maybe make the game automatically pick the best letter it could be to produce the best scoring word.
