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.

• Swap

  Replace a random hole card with the top card from the deck.

• Snitch

  Select an opponent. One of their hole cards is randomly revealed to you only.

• Weaken

  Select an opponent. Decrease a random one of their hole cards 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

  Select one of your hole cards to change to a different random suit.

• Mulligan

  Discard all of your hole cards and draw new ones from the deck.

• Freeze

  Select an opponent. They can't play any power-ups for the rest of this hand.

• Reshuffle

  Reshuffle the remaining deck.

• Mirror

  Choose an opponent, then pick one of your cards to replace. A random card from that opponent is copied into your hand.

• Detective

  Select an opponent. Examines only their 2 hole cards (ignores the community board): are the two cards a pair, 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.
