How it works

Small Talk Poker is poker you play by meeting people. Here's one meeting at a party.

You arrive. You get a badge with a QR code and write your name on it: Leo. The badge hides a playing card.
You scan your QR code. Your phone's camera reads the badge and you join the game.
You have a card. It's the Ace of Spades. Tell people, or bluff.
Someone asks, and you bluff. Sophie: "Hi, I'm Sophie! What card are you?" You: "Three of clubs. Total dud." It's really the Ace of Spades.
Sophie isn't so sure. "Hmm. Let's see what you've got." She scans your badge, and her phone shows your name and your card. "You're bluffing! It's actually an ace!" "Busted." "Ha! Fun. Nice to meet you, Leo." "Nice to meet you, Sophie." Your ace joins her hand: a pair of aces.
On to the next one. Max: "Hi, I'm Max! What card are you?" You: "Ace of Spades. Honestly."

Make small talk, learn a name, and have some fun. The best five-card poker hand at the end of the night wins.
