Poker Quest
Poker Quest is a unique fantasy roguelike game that leverages a standard deck of playing cards (Ace, King, Queen, etc.) to activate your abilities and engage in combat. It's a blend of traditional card game mechanics with RPG elements, offering a novel and challenging experience.

How to play Poker Quest?
In Poker Quest, you start by drawing cards from a standard 52-card deck. These cards are then used to activate various equipment and abilities:
- Navigating the World Map: Your journey progresses as you move to the right on the world map, encountering different events and battles.
- Turn-Based Combat: The combat system is turn-based. You draw two cards per turn, with your cards displayed on the left and the enemy's on the right.
- Activating Equipment: To engage in combat, select cards from your hand and then choose the equipment you wish to use them with. After using your cards, you end your turn.
- Upgrades and Shops: As you earn chips, look for shops to spend them in. Upgrading your card draw and other abilities is essential for progression.
The game is rich with tooltips providing guidance, making it easy to understand the mechanics as you play.
