THE PIT BOSS

Keep the game moving. Read the room. Make the call.

The Pit Boss is a solo journaling RPG about running the floor of a busy poker room.

Across eight Texas Hold’em hands, you’ll watch suspicious players, listen to dealers, call surveillance, make rulings, and decide how much you trust your instincts before the cards are revealed.

Sometimes you’ll catch something.

Sometimes you’ll get it completely wrong.

Either way, the floor is yours.

HOW IT PLAYS

Each hand plays out through a real flop, turn, and river.

As the board develops, you’ll:

  • Watch suspicious players
  • Read the table
  • Talk to the dealer
  • Call The Eye in the Sky
  • Make a ruling
  • Choose how confident you are
  • Reveal the cards and see if you still stand by your decision

Your choices affect your Integrity and shape the story of your shift.

YOU’LL NEED

♠ A standard deck of playing cards with Jokers
🎲 Two six-sided dice
✏️ A pencil
📓 A journal or notebook
