In real poker you fold most of your hands. That's the boring part. In Sidehand, every card you fold becomes magic.
Sidehand is a poker roguelite. Win a pot and it hits your opponent's health bar. Fold, and the card you let go joins your Sidehand: a second hand of magic cards you play onto the table.
Fold, and keep the card
You are dealt three hole cards and drop one before the flop. That card joins your Sidehand, and so does a card from every hand you fold. Your Sidehand cards give you strategic moves:
Attack. Drop a 4 on your 9 and it becomes a King. Power up your next hit. Turn a card wild.
Defend. Drop a heart on your health bar and it heals you. Change a community card's suit to break an opponent's flush.
Every run is different
Three acts at three tables you choose, each ending with a boss that resists one hand and fears another.
Win a fight, choose one of three booster packs, and build a deck that bends the rules: destroy, clone, shift ranks, convert suits and print nineteen enhancements onto your cards.
Six Stakes of difficulty, six starter decks, and the Daily Deal: the same fight for everyone, every day.
Nine tables, nine ways to play
Three tables play Classic Hold'em. Six play a house game from real card rooms: No-Limp, Bomb Pot, Door Card, Push or Fold, Kill Pot and Fixed Limit. Each has its own painting, its own music and its own boss.
