About this game
Power Up Your Projectiles with Poker Hands
As enemies close in from every side, card projectiles fire nonstop.
The hand you build empowers your attacks.
The stronger the poker hand, the harder your projectiles hit — and the more of the screen they cover.
When the swarm fills the screen,
a well-built hand carves a path through the chaos.
Build Your Hands Strategically
Collecting cards blindly will not keep you alive.
You must decide what to hold, what to drop, and what hand to chase next.
Play it safe with a Pair,
push for a Straight or Flush,
or bet big on a higher hand for a bigger payoff.
In SHOWHAND, your hand is more than your attack.
It is your health, your build, and the strategy that decides your next fight.
Break Through the Boss and Take On a Bigger Table
Survive the endless waves,
and a powerful boss will stand in your way.
Under crushing pressure,
the hands, Jokers, and upgrades you have built will reveal their true power.
Protect your hand to the very end,
break through the boss, and step up to a bigger table.
