About This Game

A casual Texas Hold'em game. Buy once. No chip purchases. Play online with Steam friends or play solo against AI players. All chips are virtual and have no cash value.

Play with Steam friends

Invite friends to online games for 2–8 players. Set the room rules to suit your group.

  • Set the blinds, buy-in limits, and time per turn.
  • Open the room to friends, or allow invited players only.
  • Choose an animal avatar and set your nickname.
  • Take a seat during a game, or watch as a spectator.
  • After a hand, you can show your cards or reveal community cards that were not dealt.

Play solo at your own pace

Play no-limit Hold'em at a table for six. Each of your five AI opponents has a different play style. Choose Woodland, Sunlight, or Laurel for different blinds and opponents.

Take your time with soft piano music in the background. You can also pet the cat beside the table.

Choose Normal or Squid mode

Both modes support solo and online play.

Normal mode uses no-limit Texas Hold'em rules.

Squid mode adds tokens and extra chip payments. Win the main pot without a tie to earn a Squid token. At the end of each round, players without tokens pay chips to players who have tokens. The number of tokens affects the payment amount.
