Power-Ups Guide
Power-ups are private cards that give you special abilities during a hand. You draw one at the start of every hand (max 5 in hand), and play them on your turn instead of — or in addition to — a normal action.
How Power-Ups Work
- You draw 1 power-up at the start of each hand.
- You can hold up to 5 power-ups at once.
- They're private — opponents see how many you have, not which ones.
- Played on your turn, most power-ups don't count as your action — you can still fold, check, call, or raise after.
The Full List
-
👁Peek
Secretly preview the next community card. Only you see it, shown as a faded "ghost" card on the board.
-
🔄Swap
Replace a random hole card with the top card from the deck. High variance — the new card could be better or worse.
-
🕵Snitch
Select an opponent. One of their hole cards is randomly revealed to you only.
-
📉Weaken
Decrease a random hole card of an opponent by 1 rank (2 wraps to Ace).
-
📈Boost
Increase a random one of your hole cards by 1 rank (Ace wraps to 2).
-
🎭Suit Swap
Change one of your hole cards to a random different suit. Great for chasing a flush.
-
🎲Mulligan
Discard all of your hole cards and draw new ones from the deck. Pre-flop only, but situationally useful later.
-
🧊Freeze
Select an opponent. They can't play any power-ups for the rest of this hand.
-
🔀Reshuffle
Reshuffle the remaining deck. Cancels everyone's peeks and changes what's coming.
-
🪞Mirror
Choose an opponent, then pick one of your cards to replace. A random card from that opponent is copied into your hand.
-
🧐Detective
Learn whether an opponent has at least a pair, at least two cards of the same suit, both, or neither.
Tips
- Peek is the most versatile — it tells you whether to stay in the hand or fold cheaply.
- Save Freeze for an opponent who's clearly holding strong power-ups.
- Mirror on a player who goes all-in: you get a card from their strong hand.
- Suit Swap and Boost pair well with the Four-Card Flush and Open Hand modifiers.
