Fifty-Two Cards. Zero Sea Monsters. All Hold'em.

Welcome aboard the Salty Gull, where Captain Marrow's ragtag crew deals Texas Hold'em hands instead of cannonballs. It's the silliest poker voyage on the seven seas — and it sails entirely in your browser.

Turn the Ship's Helm

Meet the Misfits

🏴‍☠️

Captain Marrow

Keeps a hole card tucked in her hat "for luck." Has never lost a poker game she couldn't blame on the wind.

🐙

Squiddo

Holds eight tentacles and complains that Hold'em only lets him use two cards. Official ship shuffler. Unofficial ship hugger.

🦜

Percival the Parrot

Announces every Hold'em hand loudly, sometimes correctly. Was promoted from "shoulder decoration" last spring.

"Arr, I've played poker with krakens and lobsters alike. This crew's the finest Hold'em table on the seas — and the loudest."— Captain Marrow, definitely not influenced by Percival
"SQUAWK! Nice poker shuffle! SQUAWK!"— Percival, providing commentary

Turn the Helm of Nonsense

🛞

Give it a turn to hear what the crew thinks of your poker face.

Below Deck Questions

Is the crew friendly?

Fiercely. Squiddo will attempt to hug you with all eight arms. Results vary. Percival will compliment your hat, whether or not you're wearing one.

Do I need anything special to play along?

Nope! It plays right in your browser, free as a seagull's opinion. No muss, no treasure maps, no parley required.

Why is it called Scallywag 52?

Fifty-two cards in the Hold'em deck, and every single one of them is a scallywag. Especially the Queen of Hearts. She knows what she did.
