A downloadable game for Windows

Set in the underworld of the 1920s, "Strong Hand" immerses players in a battle of tension, strategy, and deception.

A caporegime of a family that you turned your back on, you are taken in once more for one last game for your transgressions against the very people you once called brothers.

You must outmanoeuvre your opponent using a mix of tactics and luck to avoid being killed and prove you have the strongest hand.


Objectives

Eliminate your opponent before he eliminates you by using your cards and rule book to help. Each card has unique abilities and side effects to keep the game fresh on each run. Force your opponent to cut off his finger, order up a glassing, or pull out a roulette card and pray you have a bullet in the chamber.

The choice is yours: but as soon as a finger is cut, you'll slowly start to bleed out. So choose your cards wisely - your life depends on it.
