HEX POKER TD

Hex Poker TD — Card Defense

Hex Poker TD

Poker hands build the towers on a hex planet. Combine, charge elements, survive.

Hex Poker TD is a tower-defense roguelite that plays out on a 3D hex-sphere planet. Enemies snake across the honeycomb toward your base; you defend by dealing a poker hand and turning the cards into towers.

Every card you place is a tower. Combine matching cards into real poker hands — pairs, straights, flushes, full houses — for bigger, chip-scaled firepower, and charge them with elemental effects. Pick a board (sphere or pancake), a difficulty, and a size, then hold the line across escalating waves — or go endless and chase a high score.

There is a Versus mode against the computer: two territories share one planet, and you both build while sending grunts, brutes, and bosses at each other. Card backs, felt themes, spawn and goal markers, and music are all unlockable with the chips you earn from winning runs.

Built in Godot 4.6 (GDScript). Free to play, with optional ads and cosmetics. Play it right here in your browser, or get it on Android.

Exact cards only: your selection must form the hand with nothing left over — 2-2-3 is not a pair, drop the 3.

Merging chip towers: if their real cards make a better hand of five or fewer, you get it (pair + pair = two pair; pair + trips = full house). Otherwise they climb one tier above the strongest chip — trips + trips = four of a kind, all the way up to royal flush. Climbed chips have no cards left, so they always climb again.

House rule: straights wrap around the corner — the Ace bridges K and 2, so K-A-2-3-4 counts.
