Got this Yoto a few days ago and planning to give it to my toddler daughter as a potty training gift (soon🤞) but in the meantime after she goes to bed I’ve been enjoying listening to some of my favorite radio station streams on a MYO card. TBH I might be enjoying making the pixel art versions of the station logos even more.

POKER DROP on Lexaloffle BBS

I had this vague idea while working on my other pico-8 poker games that essentially boiled down to "Tetris, but poker." I tried to figure out how to make this work with traditional 5-card poker hands but couldn't work out the logistics. Then I remembered three-card poker was a thing and that fit the bill nicely.

Detailed instructions are on the BBS, but some fun highlights:

• Clear a single deck or play endless mode
• Each deck has two jokers that are wild cards automatically becoming the best possible card (and can be multiple cards simultaneously)
• Multiple hands and chains create multipliers which can add up quick
• You can freeze play to take a moment to plan
• The "shuffle" move will take all of the cards on the board and randomize their position. Good for shaking up the board or getting out trouble.
  • You only get one shuffle to start a round and in endless mode you earn another every $1,000.

Let me know what you think! I swear this is the last poker related game I'm going to make...

GAME LINKS:

• Grid Shift Puzzle Poker
• Pico Poker Squares

In a shameless attempt to maximize my ROI on the "5x5 poker grid" concept, I have two new pico 8 card games! Or more kind of like 1.5 new games since the first one is more of an updated concept.

Grid Shift Puzzle Poker:
This is a fork and update of a game I made some months ago called Grid Shift Poker. I guess you could call this a sequel? Anyway, after messing around with the previous version of the game I realized the whole wager / dealer competition system wasn't the most fun way to use the grid shift mechanism. Also someone correctly pointed out that if you tried to get a flush every hand it was nearly a guaranteed win. I knew I wanted to make some changes after that and what I ended up going with felt significant enough to call it a new game.

Major revisions:

• Removed wager / bank / dealer competition system and moved to a "high score" model.
• The game is played with a single deck of cards and missing cards are replenished until the deck runs out
• There are "base" scores for each hand with the card values of the hand providing a bonus

I find this to be more fun than my original version. There is incentive to be strategic about which hands you play and cards you keep and to try for higher-value hands.

Pico Poker Squares:
This is just a pico 8 version of Poker Solitaire / Poker Squares. There have been others in the past, I just already had a lot of the assets to make this pretty easily. After making both of these I found myself enjoying playing this more during testing. It's easier to get into while still having a lot of good opportunity for strategizing.

Let me know if you have any feedback!
