Word Poker
Ahoy, maties! Thanks for playing Word Poker!
Word Poker is a new twist on No-Limit Texas Hold 'Em, where instead of being dealt traditional cards, you're dealt letters! Instead of trying to make the best poker hand, you're trying to make the best word.
Letters have values, and letters that are harder to make words with are worth more. Additionally, you get bonus points for making longer words. Don't worry if you're not a good speller - your best word is automatically calculated.
*** Features ***
- Play with 2 - 6 players. One player hosts, and gives the lobby code to the others. Even if the host leaves, the game continues. There is a reconnect feature, as well.
- Choose your game options. In the lobby, the host can choose how much time players have to act, how long until the blinds go up, how many starting chips players have, and can choose between two word lists.
- See your cards and best hand, even if you fold, by hovering your mouse over your player card.
- Fully featured poker system. Written from the ground up by a professional poker player, the rules of No Limit Hold 'Em are faithfully interpreted. Player seating is randomized, dead small blinds are accounted for, and raises less than the minimum will not reopen betting.
Good luck and have fun gamers!

actually really fun, hope to see more in the future
Thanks. I can always count on you to hype me up :) I'm really excited to have finally learned how to make multiplayer games, and the one I'm working on right now, I think you'll really enjoy.
Oh cool!! I might try to play this with my sisters :D
Let me know how you like it! I've been playing it with some friends in Discord and it's been good time.
Any chance for a single player mode?
Making a bot that can play poker with any level of competence is far beyond the scope of this project. It wouldn't be too hard to let them make simple, predictable actions, but this would be such a shallow opponent to play against it would not be interesting for more than a game or two.
There is a Discord button on the main menu, that could be a good way to build a little community to get some games together.
