About Pokaban
Pokaban is a puzzle game where you push cards around to make poker hands. There are marked positions that correlate to a poker hand on the screen. Once enough cards are added to a hand it will be compared with the dealer's hand. If all of your hands beat the dealer then you win the match!
Push cards:
When pushed into a slot the card is added to a hand
Once a hand is completed it will be compared with the dealer
You cannot
Push more than one card
Pull cards
Wild cards can take the place of any other card. It makes creating poker hands more challenging. Like other cards you can place wild cards into marked positions to add to your hand.
Positions on the game board can be marked as wild. Placing a card there will turn all cards sharing the rank and suit into wild cards. Be careful though this will affect the dealer' cards as well.
These modifiers affect the dealer's cards as well so use them carefully.
Placing a card onto a position marked with another suit will swap the suits of both cards.

Been having fun with Pokaban. It's challenging but has lots of friendly features like level skip, a hint system, and unlimited undos so it's a stress-free experience. Poker concept is mostly just a theme but there are some new mechanics. Comes with a level editor! Pokaban's a poker-themed sokoban game with gorgeous retro style. Range of mechanics is limited but levels are well-designed and challenging. Plenty of game with 60+ levels and a built-in level editor.

Really nice twist on the classic sokoban. :) + challenging puzzles + charming graphics + interesting wild card mechanic + a move counter + a level editor. But it's not for you, if you are not a fan of sokoban games.1 found this helpful
Too similar to the classic sokoban. New mechanics are few and bring no exciting things.1 found this helpful
I am not familiar with Sokoban but I love this game. The way that poker mechanics were worked into this game was genius. Some of the puzzles were real head scratchers too. I am thankful there was a hint system when I needed it. You can tell how much love and care the developer put into this game with the cute graphics, chill music, and extensive content. I hope to see more games like this (or even a mobile version) from the developer.
Fun and creative Sokoban game, well worth the low cost and the time. The hints system is greatly appreciated.
