Is Dungeon Poker a registered trademark?
Yes. Dungeon Poker is a registered trademark in Finland, and in the European Union.
Are the player characters balanced?
Yes. After years of fine-tuning, we think that the characters are surprisingly well balanced, considering their diverse special abilities. We eagerly wait for feedback from the players.
Is it easy to learn how to play?
Yes. We think that the game is easy to learn even when playing for the first time. Especially if you know the basic mechanics of Poker. However, you should seek to read the rulebook at least once before you play the game for the first time. Also there will be a tutorial video of the game available in the near future.
How did you come up with the idea for Dungeon Poker?
Who wouldn´t want to be a Wizard or a Cave Troll at the poker table and cast spells to remove unpleasant cards from the table, or smash that annoying opponent who has pocket aces with a club?
Is Dungeon Poker already for sale?
Yes. The game can be preordered from our online store that is linked on the front page and on the header. You can also find the game in the future in well-stocked board game stores.
What is the best part of Dungeon Poker?
The basic mechanics of the game are easy to learn, and even people less familiar with board games can grasp the mechanics. Nevertheless, the game has strategic depth so that even an experienced player may come up with novel strategies after years of gameplay. In addition, the art and the stories of the game create a fascinating and inviting fantasy atmosphere.
Is the game in English?
Yes, the game is in English, but a complete rulebook in Finnish is also included.
Is the idea of Dungeon Poker unique, or are there other games like it on the market?
When we started designing the game seriously in 2017, we naturally conducted research on the topic to confirm whether someone had already come up with the idea. We did not find games that would correspond with our idea. Now, in 2025 and during the publication, Dungeon Poker still remains unique in the genre. There are no other games in the board game genre that would combine Texas Hold´em , added special abilities, and a fantasy theme.
Can more than six players play the game?
Yes. You may also play the game with more than six players. The tokens in the package may be enough for even as many as eight players, but we think that the game works the best when played with 2-6 players. The game does work even with just two players, but there will be an official two player version in the future.
Will there be expansions for the game?
Yes. There have been / or will be expansions designed for the game. They will be published if the game is successful and the players like the game as much as we do. The first, “Collector´s Edition Bonus Deck” is actually soon available in our online store. In it, all the player characters are included as special, large deluxe cards and it even includes three completely new characters. These extra cards are designed to fit into the original box.
Can I buy the game outside of Finland?
