SC2Mapster

Hello everyone, CreepColony Forums Poker Tower Defense is a map that I released last year in April and I finally got around to making an SC2Mapster page for it.

The game is highly customizable, but at its core it's a Tower Defense where each Tower you have is only as strong as the cards that created it. Between each wave each player can place down one Tower. They will then receive 5 cards (made up of only numbers 7-10 and face cards J-A) and a preview of the the tower that will be created based on their hand. Players can switch each card for a new one in order to try to get a better hand and thus a stronger Tower. When all players are ready, the wave will begin and normal enemies or a boss will travel the path. If the enemy reaches the end of the path, the player loses lives and should they run out the game will end for them. The length of the game is determined by the settings confirmed by the host at the start.

As a side note, all the boss names and unit choices are based on members of our forums and their favorite units.

It is in its final version, so while I do not have plans to add in new features, any bug reports or feedback will help a lot!
