The Crooked Hand

What the game is about

The Crooked Hand is a card game focused on manipulation and strategy, inspired by 1990s Hong Kong gambling films. Players engage in poker-like matches where they can alter their hand by changing the rank and suit of their cards. You can pick up a hole card and transform it as needed to create winning combinations, such as pairs or straights, using a resource called Power.

Card manipulation

In the game, players are not limited to the cards they are dealt. Instead, you can replace unsatisfactory hole cards by applying your own hands to change their ranks and suits. Each alteration costs Power, making the decision to change a card a tactical choice rather than just an opportunity for luck.
