    It’s not too difficult. Each player gets six cards, except for the player on the dealer’s right, who gets seven.

      Unless the player on the right is Worf who gets none because he’s just going to fold anyway.

      This game is exceedingly simple. With only fifty two cards, twenty one of which I will see, and four other players, there are a limited number of winning combinations.

    They should have done this a long time ago.

      Right? I feel like it would be a high quality, low budget, low stress series. No CGI, minimal costume and make up, the writers may just have to give them some in-character stuff to work into their banter. The cast’s age wouldn’t be a concern since they’d be comfortably seated the whole time.

      It could work 😆

        I was quoting TNG’s final words, but now you’ve got me actually wanting this!

    I dunno about just poker, but I’d watch a show that took place entirely on the ship (no planets of the week or big budget special effects. I loved the bottle show episodes of TNG. They were so damn cozy!

    Poker Night at the Inventory, but Trek?

    It could be a little story anthology series, with each player taking terms sharing an embellished story to distract from the strength of their hands.

    • IcedRaktajino@startrek.website ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Yes!

      And Worf tells this highly embellished story of honor and victory, everyone reacts in awe, and he folds.

        Beau. Maybe we could get a story about his targ when he has a good hand.

        Dr. Crusher could get everyone a little hot under the collar with a ghost story
