Editorial Review

Have a bias for bingo or a predilection for poker? Po-Ke-No has elements of both, with variations that make it many games in one. Play 5-card Po-Ke-No, Po-Ke-No Black Jack, 4-Corner Po-Ke-No, Po-Ke-No Roulette--or just stick with good old Original Po-Ke-No. In the basic version, each player is given a game card--a 10-by-7-inch board with 25 face-up playing card illustrations on each--and some red plastic chips. The dealer shuffles an ordinary deck of playing cards (not included) and turns the top card over, calling it out. Each player who has that "card" on her or his board covers it with a chip. The first person to cover a complete row of five, vertically or horizontally, wins, and collects all chips on other players' boards or receives a reward based on the poker value of her or his hand (chart with rank of poker hands included). Includes 12 game cards, 200 chips, and instructions. For 2 to 13 players. --Emilie Coulter

This review is from: Original Pokeno Card Game (Sports)

I have been playing POKENO for over 20 years my whole family LOVE this game; my family get together every Saturday to play for pennies. I searched high and low for a week to find this game, all the toy stores and the department stores but no one had it. Then I went online to see if I could find it, and I was happy to see that Amazon.com had it and without any hesitation I bought it and I received it in 3 days.

PS: "THANKYOU FOR HAVING THE GAME BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE DID"

The product is one I had search for for some time. Hence, it one I grew up with...The Original version. The size is perfect and yet compact. This game can give hours of fun for as many as 12 at one time. If you've ever played Bingo...you caN play this game. Pokeno is THE board game for fun loving adults. The terms 4 corners, center,4 of a Kind, blackout and PO KE NO will become your most treasure words to shout.
