Wild West Island

Slap that Jack

EL5-NOMONOMOMOMOMOMONOMONOMNOMON. Now for this awesome yet previously declared update. We’ve got some news about our slapjack tricks. Posted on the Poptropica Creators’ Blog was some advice for one of the games on Wild West Island – Slap Jack!

One of the games on Wild West Island is a version of the card game Slap Jack. It follows the standard rules: you and your opponents take turns dealing one card into the center pile. When somebody puts down a Jack, the first player to slap the pile wins the cards. You win when all of your opponents have run out of cards. Sounds pretty simple, right? Well, it is, except for one thing: the fake-out.

When you’re dealing a Jack from your pile, you can bluff. Slide the card only partway to the center of the table, then pull it back, and there’s a chance one of your opponents might slap the pile anyway. If they do, you get a card from their draw pile. But be careful! Your opponents will try to fake you out, too. The same rule applies: if you slap the pile before the Jack is placed, you’ll lose a card to the player who tricked you.

Good luck out there. As with everything you’ll do on Wild West Island, the stakes are high.

EL5- Looks like Mr. Crawfish here is a pretty good player. Too bad he’s not with us anymore… *pats stomach*

  1. Why this method really work against COMPUTERs, which should know when the card is really placed and when it’s still not placed? -_-

    1. FYI: Computers are really fast but dumb assistants. They do ONLY what the programmer tells it to do.

      Computers don’t understand english.

      The creators of poptropica probably wanted this to happen so it would seem real, like you’re actually playing against other players(or maybe you really are O_O). They put a random number generator to have the other “players” take a risk and slap it.

What's popping, Poptropicans?
