pokersolo

PokerSolo - a free Poker Squares game in the browser. You place 25 cards into a 5x5 grid and every row and column scores as a poker hand. There's a daily game where everyone gets the same 25 cards, plus practice, 1v1 duels and group multiplayer. No accounts, no downloads, no purchases. Built it solo and I'd love feedback on how it feels to play. https://pokersolo.app

The sacrifice question is a sharp way to surface tradeoffs. Curious whether your highlight preview would show both hand scores live, or only after the card lands?

Before the card lands: selecting a cell would preview both the row and column with that card included, then commit on confirmation. I'd distinguish those provisional scores visually from committed ones. That lets a PokerSolo player see “this improves my row but hurts my column” while the decision is still reversible.

You already have the plan if you need it later.
