Sidehand is a solo poker adventure built for people who have never played poker.

Texas Hold'em is the combat system: win the pot, deal the damage. But you are never left to work it out alone. The game explains itself as you play, at whatever pace you want, and every helper is a switch you can turn off the day you stop needing it.

You do not need to know poker to start
A step-by-step tutorial teaches the game itself, not just the buttons. A hand-rankings card is one tap away at every table. The odds panel writes out its arithmetic in plain English instead of handing you a percentage: you are risking 30 to win 50, so this is worth it if you get there more than 60% of the time.

A coach that reads the board with you
Turn on Coach Guidance and it names your hand, counts the cards that would improve it, shows your equity, and grades the decision you actually made. Seven more helpers sit behind the same wrench: pot odds, board texture, quick odds, an outs tracker, hand rankings, the battle log and auto draw-and-discard.

A real trainer, one tap from the title screen
Nine written lessons, from what beats what through implied odds. Three guided scenarios with a known right answer. Rapid-fire drills across five concepts and four difficulties, starting at Beginner. A Skill Radar built from how you actually play, across five axes: pre-flop selection, pot odds, aggression, fold discipline and value sizing.

And it is a game, not a lesson
You are dealt three hole cards and discard one before the flop. That card goes to your Sidehand - and so does a card every time you fold. Spend them on the table: raise a card's rank, turn it wild, throw chips into the pot, or heal. Wild cards put Five of a Kind on the board, a hand real poker cannot reach.

Three acts, three impossible tables
The Green Table, a disc of moss in a forest. The Cold Deck, a frozen lake in an ice cavern. The Final Table, on the Moon, with the Earth in the sky. Twelve opponent archetypes with real reads, from the Calling Station who never folds to the Shark who adapts to your leaks. Three bosses, each telegraphing a resistance you can build toward.

Rebuild your deck as you go
Destroy cards, clone them, convert suits, shift ranks and attach nineteen different enhancements. Bankroll carries between runs and buys options, never raw power - every run starts from the same strength.
