At any point of time in game, you should have at least 6 cards in total to use Discard function.
Q: When to use “Peek” option?
A: At any given point only two of Juliana’s cards will be visible to you.
To override this restriction, use the Peek option to view her remaining cards. This way you will know the hand you need to make to defeat Juliana.
Q: My card deck count shows XX (+YY). Why is the count separated?
A: Mafia Poker is based on a pack of maximum 52 cards. Your card deck count carries two parts:
a. Count of cards remaining in deck (XX) while the game is in progress.
b. Count of any excess cards which you may have received or bought - apart from the deck (+YY)
When you reveal (show) the cards to see who won, the card deck will reset and excess cards (if any) will be adjusted towards the deck to complete the pack.
Please note:
- All cards that you discard will be permanently removed from your deck of collected cards.
- All cards that you use for a Show will also be permanently removed from your deck of collected cards.
