How to Play Powderkeg, by James Ernest

Published: Sun 21st Sep

James Ernest of Crab Fragment Labs explains the rules of Powderkeg, an original card game for 2-6 players. This video was captured with friends at KublaCon 2025.

Powderkeg is a unique game where only the dealer has any cards. The dealer sets their hand by very strict rules, but with just enough leeway to make it interesting. Then the players must guess, card by card, if the dealer's hand is alive or not.

This is just one of the many interesting games for the Island Deck, a six-suited 54-card deck from Crab Fragment Labs. Learn more about Powderkeg and many other games on the Island Deck page!
