## Description
Mole Poker is a card game that blends the excitement of poker with draft strategy. Instead of drawing from a single deck, each player selects from six mole heaps, each heap holding a fixed number of cards of various types. At the start only a few cards are revealed; as the game progresses, more cards become visible, creating a mix of public and hidden information that demands tactical decisions. The goal remains the same: assemble the best poker hand possible. You decide which heap to draw from, weighing what’s already shown and what may appear later. When time runs out, all hands are revealed and the player with the strongest combination, according to classic poker rules, wins. The game lasts about fifteen minutes and accommodates 2 to 5 players, making it ideal for quick family or friend sessions. The set‑collection mechanic adds strategic depth, while the simplicity of poker rules keeps it approachable. The fun comes from draft choices and the tension of finding out if your hand was the best – all in a compact, fast‑paced package.
