FAQ
What exactly is a Preview Edition board game?
This Preview Edition is a high-quality prototype of SHAKE IT UP! Dice Poker that is complete in design and functionality but does not have the final touches that a mass-produced copy will have. In our case, such final touches would include custom-made dice cups, newly manufactured dice, and a traditional lidded game box.
Each game set has been carefully assembled by the helping hands of our team’s extended families, repurposing existing inventory to reduce waste and get a game in your hands sooner than later! We do not yet have a production date set for the final retail version.
This Preview Edition is made with on-hand dice inventory from Carmelyn Calvert’s original “Square Shooters” game, using high quality WILD stickers to cover the original brand logos that were printed on the dice. We are satisfied that this label offers an excellent visual appearance, and we guarantee your satisfaction by pledging to fully refund your purchase if you return your unused game set.

How do the dice work?
Nine dice have 54 total surfaces: just right for a full deck of 52 playing cards plus 2 jokers. The cards are arranged in a patented design so players can roll the key hands for poker, rummy, and all the classic card games: Every 4-of-a-kind, Straight Flush, and Royal Flush.
How do the WILD dice work?
WILD dice can be used to complete any hand assignment. There are 2 WILD dice in the deck, and they will automatically be used as the highest possible value to complete your hand.
I don't know poker hands, can I still enjoy the game?!
ABSOLUTELY! Refer to our handy-dandy playing-hand chart (included on instruction sheet) for reference at any time during game-play. The ‘easy to learn’ description of game-play refers to the fact that it is ALWAYS OK to use this guide for reference (match the best version of assigned hand to dice rolled), while the ‘difficult to master’ description refers to the fact that as you become more familiar with our dice; you can make savvier decisions with dice-holds, re-rolls and power-up usage!
