PoCombi: Major update! Make all Poker Combinations now!

tenukigames PoCombi , , ,

One of the things that came up the most when I asked people about PoCombi was the fact people wanted to make all combinations. Not only Pairs, Straights & Flushes but also Three of a Kind, Full House and Two Pair! This happened to be a bit more complicated than I hoped, because I didn’t want to add another button or action to the UI. This would slow down the gameplay too much.

I came up with a solution (available since version 1.22, it should be on Google Play soon): When you select Cards and make a Combination (for example a Pair) they will immediately fall down and you’ll get the points for a Pair (just like how it worked from the beginning). But you can still select more Cards while they are going down. So if a Pair goes down and you select a third Card of the same rank (to make a Three of a Kind), the Combination will update and you’ll receive the points for a Three of a Kind! Similarly, if you select a (suited) Pair but you actually wanted to make a Flush this is still possible. The only downside is that you have to be fast enough, but PoCombi is supposed to be fast-paced anyway 🙂

I also added some new Goals to the Levels, because this is now possible of course! Please let me know what you think of the new Gameplay and inform me if it’s working or that it’s maybe too weird and only works in my head 🙂

P.S. I had some difficulties getting the layout/UI pretty on all devices/phones, on some small screens some things might overlap but for the most part it should be okay now. Feedback is welcome of course 🙂

PoCombi: How much are your Combinations worth?

To clarify a bit more about the game, here is a list of all Poker Combinations you can make in PoCombi and how many points you’ll get for them! Use it to your advantage 😉

Cards are ranked from Two to Ace. Higher ranked Cards give you more points, a Two is worth 2 points, a Three is worth 3 points and so on. The highest card, the Ace is worth 14 points. You can make the following Combinations:

  • A Pair: Two Cards of the same Rank. Gives you 3 points, and the points for each individual Card. That means a Pair of Deuces is worth 3 + 4 = 7 points and a Pair of Aces is worth 3 + 28 = 31 points!
  • A Straight: Five Cards in consecutive order. Gives you 60 points, and the points for each individual Card!
  • A Flush: Five Cards of the same suit. Gives you 80 points, and the points for each individual Card!
  • A Straight Flush: Five Cards in consecutive order and of the same suit. Gives you 300 (!) points, and the points for each individual Card!
  • A Royal Flush: A Straight Flush from Ten to Ace, gives you 400 points and the points for each Card, meaning a total of 400 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 14 = 460 points.

Currently it’s not possible to make other poker combinations like Three of a Kind, Full House and Quads. I’m working on a solution for this, but I want to keep PoCombi a fast-paced game, so I don’t like the idea of adding another button or action to select specific card in your storage. Ideas are welcome of course 🙂
