Each participant sets out a victory condition. The participants then play a full, possibly multi-hand, game of poker until one participant or group with compatible victory conditions hold all the chips. A player's stakes (initial pool of chips to play with) can be altered based on the character's features.
Example system; Texas
Play to Pot[edit]
Each conflict is resolved with a single hand of a given poker game. At each stage of betting the players offer a single event they are willing to risk- subject to opponent's approval. At the conclusion of the hand the winner chooses which risked events take place.
