What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We've been working hard over the past several years to build Poker Warlords, from scratch, based off the success of our prototype in the StarCraft II arcade. We've developed the core features of the game and have been refining it through closed beta testing. We're now ready to begin building our player base and involving the greater community in the development!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to be in Early Access for around one year, although the roadmap will evolve with user feedback.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The plan is to build out everything currently in the game: more cards, more game modes, and more cosmetics for customization. We also plan to upgrade to new unit models and add more features such as support for clans, replays, and more! With the launch of 1.0, we will begin rotating in-game seasons and hosting regular tournaments.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We've implemented the core features of the game, including a custom combat system, 30 unique units with abilities, multiplayer poker betting, matchmaking with a rating system, and progression systems including earning coins and a shop with purchasable avatars. Coins and progression will carry-over from the Early Access to the full version.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Poker Warlords is and will continue to be free-to-play! We will continuously be adding in new cosmetics and flair for purchase for players to support the development and our team.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan to engage with our community on our Discord and Steam discussion pages to get feedback and suggestions for current and future game features. We're very interested in hearing our players' thoughts and using them to make the best game possible. We plan to continue development based off of the needs and feedback of the community.”

About This Game


Poker Warlords is a genre-defying strategy game that fuses poker betting with autobattler combat. Just like in poker, players are dealt cards from a shuffled deck and compete in rounds of betting. On your turn, you can check, call, raise, or fold.


Each card represents an army — it contains a unit type and a quantity that together determine what will spawn on the battlefield. Pick which of your cards you want to deploy as your front line, your back line, and which you want to discard. Bigger armies are stronger hands, but match two cards with the same alliance type to unlock an additional bonus.




When the betting concludes, your hand conjures an army into the arena where it battles against the other players. Whoever wins the battle wins the pot!




Poker Warlords adds replayability to the autobattler genre by building on poker's strong strategic foundation. The gameplay loop is simple and intuitive, yet surprisingly deep. Bluff your opponents, counter their units, and flex your poker prowess.




Climb the ranks, earn coins, and splurge on rare avatars or enter into fierce competitions. Whether you're battling for the top of the leaderboard or just enjoying a casual game with friends, Poker Warlords offers something for every player. Poker Warlords is free-to-play with no pay-to-win mechanics.


Poker Warlords is the sequel to our top 10 StarCraft II™ arcade game, BattlePoker. We've innovated the genres of both poker games and autobattlers and are excited to unveil our concept as a standalone game to the Steam audience! Poker Warlords is developed by a team of 3 with a solo programmer. It is not affiliated with Activision Blizzard.
