About
One of the most popular card games in the world is poker. 
The game was played in the old west among cowboys, by dogs on velvet paintings, and by the crew of the Star Ship Enterprise. 
Poker is played informally among friends and family, yet it is also a high-stakes competitive game where millions of dollars can be won or lost.
It is a game that has origins that go back centuries, but in its modern manifestation, it is also very modern.
Learn more about the game of Poker and how it became one of the most popular card games in the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
