Some people call this unethical; I call it fun." ...Peter Berger - PTD Magazine...

“...Although relatively unknown in major metropolitan areas, real-life “Poker Runs” have been a familiar part of rural and small-town American culture for decades. More often than not, it’s a day-long charitable event sponsored by a local automotive, motorcycle, snowmobile or boating club. The rules are simple: Participants travel from place to place, picking up a playing card at each location. At the end of the day, the player with the best five-card Poker Hand wins. ARCTIC STUD POKER RUN is a decidedly irreverent, over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek re-invention that includes everything from heat seeking missiles and dynamite-filled snowmen to spell-casting goblins and bullet-proof long-johns. Not surprisingly, this laugh-out-loud experience was conceived by veteran arcade designers Brian Colin & Jeff Nauman, whose individual and combined game credits include some of the most popular, highest earning and best selling games in video game history! ...Games like Arch Rivals, General Chaos, Rampage World Tour and Star Trek Voyager!..." ...Gloria Skeester - Hassayampan TV...
