Dice Poker 21 Rules
Objective
To win, you must finish the game with more points than your opponent, without exceeding 21.
-
Reaching 22 or more points results in an instant loss.
-
The game ends when both players press “STOP”, or when one player exceeds 21 and loses automatically.
Turn Structure
Players take turns. On your turn:
-
Draw a card (worth 1 to 4 points).
-
Roll a six-sided die (worth 1 to 6 points).
Both values are added to your total score.
Important constraints:
-
Instead of taking your turn, you may press “STOP”. This locks in your current score permanently. You cannot take any further actions.
-
Once you draw a card, you must roll the die. You cannot cancel the turn midway.
Joker Card
There is one special card: the Joker.
-
The Joker itself gives no points.
-
However, after drawing it, you must roll two dice instead of one.
-
The combined result of both dice is added to your score.
Deck Composition
-
There are two copies of each numbered card.
-
There is only one Joker in the entire deck.
Running Out of Cards
If the deck is exhausted before both players have finished, the game ends immediately and the current scores are used to determine the outcome.

Think I've gotten all the endings now! Beatrix is certainly my favorite, but this is heavy bias as she's playing the strip game version I want to see the most.
Not a bad little one-off game to advertise your main one, as I imagine there won't be anything like this in that one.
The game feels very pleasant and well-polished — shaking the tube with the dice is a great touch. The game maintains a nice sense of tension, especially when watching the dice results roll in.
However, the core concept lacks a bit of depth: the outcome depends more on randomness than on player decisions.
If you have fewer points, there’s no real reason to stop — you just keep risking it until the end. If you have more, that’s when an actual choice appears: secure your result or let your opponent try to overshoot.
The dialogues and visuals fully justify the grind of random — they’re truly impressive. The demo version develops the characters even more, so if you enjoyed the game, I highly recommend checking it out — a hidden gem on itch.
An unexpected find, that my usual checking of the "Adult" tag didn't yield at all... I only found this by checking 'strip poker' up on Reddit!
I was initially going to be a bit disappointed, as the start makes it seem like a typical "casino" style in which you just use money to buy off clothes, but was impressed to see there was a way passed that and it wasn't a game over but unlocked a new opponent. Which IS the strip game stakes I actually want!
So a pleasant little gem to find, although I wonder what I may have missed... is Beatrix the only 'traditional' strip game stakes match, and the rest are all money based? I suppose I could find out...
Thank you for the feedback!
The “Adult” tag is there because this is a small promo game for an upcoming adult project JNZ: Anchor Archetype featuring these characters.
Each girl has her own betting requirements for the protagonist.
I see, I've seen two so far. I suspect the third is behind winning against Beatrix... ah which reminds me, minor typo in this. She's called Beatrix in dialogue, but for the in-game UI she's called Biatrix.
Got it. Will fix it ASAP.
