About the Game

Play 5 is a game that combines mechanics from scrabble and poker.

Players create interlocking poker themed hands in a crossword fashion to attain the highest hand score to win the other player's chips. The hand scores are achieved by adding the face values on the tiles and strategizing to take advantage of the bonus squares on the board, that multiply the tile or hand values.
