Unfair Poker is a card game that is inspired by Texas Holdem poker with additional cards that change the core gameplay and gameplay loops. References to Unfair Poker are other family games like UNO, BANG! but also counterplay games like HearthStone.
The twist of Unfair Poker is the additional cards called cheat cards. These types of cards are NOT poker cards, instead they are boosts, gameplay changing cards that will help players tilt the odds to their favour.
Ex; A card that will show the lowestranking poker card from a player of your choice to give you information to create an
advantage.

UX DESIGN

Playfield​

  • The main purpose of the playfield was making it easier for new players to understand and get into the game.

  • Help players keep track where to put the different cards

Card design

  • Stars for giving indication of rarity in the deck

  • Coloured frame to know which type of card it is.

    • Red = aggressive​

    • Green = passive

    • Blue = coward

    • Yellow = situation

  • In addition to the frame, adding a symbol in the same colour in case of colourblindness. 

  • A fitting image and name of the card to easy remembering.
