In 1985, Robert Aspirin invented Dragon Poker for his novel Little Myth Marker. Since then, fans have added to the game by filling in the blanks left in the deck, the hands and the rules. Hoyle's Rules of Dragon Poker compiles the previous work while adding the long-neglected (by the authors and fans) conditional modifiers, creating the first complete set of rules to the game.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The game is essentially a souped-up version of stud poker, where players get a set number of cards (some face up and some face down) without the ability to draw cards to improve their hands. The game is played (usually) with a regular deck (with Dragons, Unicorns, Ogres and Elves replacing Aces, Kings, Queens and Jacks respectively).And then things get interesting.The rules of the game change depending on outside factors. It's Tuesday? Now Unicorns are wild. It's St. George's Day? Those Dragons you're holding are now blank. A romance novel is at the top of the New York Times Best Seller List? Now you can't play a hand that doesn't have an Ogre and a Unicorn. The rule changes stack and your opponents don't have to remind you of the active modifiers.Saner players than you have gone mad playing this game.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Hoyle's Rules of Dragon Poker is open-source, available to everyone for use and modification. A website, along with ebook version of the manual, detailing the rules and game play can be found here. | |

Calvinball: The card game version. There are so many possible rules changes that you're guaranteed to never play the same game twice. | |

Anachronism Stew: The author never bothers to explain why a game played in ancient Pompeii has rules for surge protectors and Weird Al. | |

Absurdly High-Stakes Game: The rules state that anything can be gambled: money, chips, names, children, etc. The only real limitation put in place is that dependents have to be returned before the police have to get involved. | |

Ancient Astronauts: The game was brought to this world by demons, or so the manual would have us believe. | |
