==Mechanics==
Star Poker has gameplay similar to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poker traditional poker]. The deck consists of an unknown number of cards, divided into at least five suits: [[Clan Snow Raven|Ravens]], [[Clan Ghost Bear|Ghost Bears]], [[Clan Hell's Horses|Horses]], [[Clan Wolf|Wolves]], and [[Clan Sea Fox|Sea Foxes]]. Known cards include (rank unknown): 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, totem animals, Loremasters, and Khans.<ref name=EoTHch8/>

Gameplay consists of rounds and includes an ante and betting. The player dealing each hand specifies the particular mechanics for that hand. Gameplay mechanics include wild cards, hole cards, and shifting of card values.<ref name=EoTHch8>

==Notes==
* [[Clan Jade Falcon]] was the only [[Council of Six Clans|Spheroid Clan]], ca. 3150, not mentioned as a suit.  Though this could be a simple omission, the name "Star Poker" also could infer that there are only five suits of cards, thus leaving them out for unknown reasons.
