Read full description
Take a seat in the card salon of a paddle steamer, 1890. Play poker hands for points, hire a crew of Jokers who bend the rules, and outscore every rival table between here and the delta.
SCORE POKER HANDS
Every hand, from a high card to a straight flush, scores chips times multiplier. Beat each table's target before you run out of hands and discards.
HIRE YOUR CREW
150 Jokers, each a riverboat character with a rule of their own. Stack them so one hand sets off a chain of bonuses.
SHAPE YOUR DECK
Buy, change and remove cards between tables. Level up hand types, add special cards, and turn a plain deck into a machine.
EIGHT ANTES UP RIVER
Each ante ends at a boss table with a twist of its own: 28 of them. Win ante eight to finish the run, then keep going in Endless.
PLENTY TO UNLOCK
15 decks, 8 stake levels and 20 challenge runs, opened by playing. No two runs deal out the same.
PLAYS ANYWHERE
Hand-made pixel art, crisp on every screen. No account and no connection needed.
FREE TO TRY, FAIR TO BUY
The free game includes three decks on the first stake, with the same Jokers and boss tables to discover. A single one-time purchase opens the other decks, the higher stakes, the challenge runs and Endless mode. Your progress carries over. No ads, no subscriptions, no energy timers.
Paddlewheel is a card game for fun. There is no real-money gambling: nothing can be wagered, won or cashed out.
