Poker, the father of card games, has a long history over the centuries. 
Description:
This game is played like "Obligations" but with a twist: players can choose any "head of the Hydra" (any obligation) and 2 cards from any row, not necesarilly the one that has the choosen "head" (the 2 cards need to be in the same row thought). Players can use only 2 of their cards together with a "Hydra's Head" plus 2 cards from any row to form a 5 card hand.
