Tic Tac Poker is poker turned into a fast tactical duel.
Instead of being dealt a full hand, you build it one smart pick at a time. Every turn you draft from 4 shared center cards, then place your choice onto your own 3x3 grid. Your goal is to create the best 3-card poker hands on rows, columns, and diagonals while denying your opponent the same opportunities.
It feels familiar in seconds, but it gets deep quickly. You are not only chasing your own Straight or Flush, you are also reading what your opponent is building, blocking key cards, and setting traps that pay off two turns later.
What makes it different
Poker hands, but on a board you control
Drafting creates real mind games: do you take the card you need, or take the card they need more
Every placement matters because the grid is limited and lines overlap
Quick matches with constant decisions, no long downtime
How the rules work
Each player has a 3x3 grid
There are 4 center cards available to draft each turn
Players take turns drafting one card and placing it on their grid
You score by completing lines as 3-card poker hands
Hands are based on 3 cards, so the pacing is quick and every combo matters
3-card hands include the classic poker feel, adapted to three cards. You can build:
Straight
Flush
Three of a Kind
Pair
High Card
And other familiar patterns that translate naturally to three cards
Two special cards add the real tactics
Joker
Choose any card you want
Use it to finish a line, repair a bad draft, or force a swing turn when you are behind
Thief
Steal a card from your opponent’s grid and take it for yourself
Break their best line, remove a key card they were building around, or complete your own combo at the last second
The threat of the Thief changes how both players place cards and how they protect high value squares
If you like interactive strategy, these cards do exactly what you want: they create moments where one decision flips the whole match.
A smart opponent that does not feel scripted
Tic Tac Poker includes opponents with multiple play styles. Some focus on building big combos, some prioritize blocking, and some time special cards to maximize disruption. The result is a rival that feels intentional and varied, not random, and not unfair.
