My friend Mr. Lucky journeyed around the world and through the tunnels of time learning countless poker variations from many fascinating characters. He learned Spit in the Ocean on a freighter in World War II, and Stalin taught him Ruin Your Neighbor in the depths of the Kremlin. Did I mention that Lucky is a tough teddy bear from Bayonne?

I predict you'll love Nostradamus, where a player who guesses the suit of his neighbor's next card takes it from him, and Share Your Hole, where each player picks one of his hole cards to be a mutual card. Then there's Myron, where the pot has a hand, and Yanqui Baseball, where the last hall of fame number to show up is wild.

Mr. Lucky tells lots of funny stories--like how Darwin taught him Man or Mouse, Caligula taught him Butcher Boy, and his hero Babe Ruth taught him about Baseball and life.
