In this solo episode of 'Twenty Minute Tabletop,' host Tom delves into the history and cultural impact of poker while navigating the liminal space between Christmas and the New Year. Tom discusses how poker's roots span multiple continents—Persia, Germany, and France—before evolving into the game known today. He shares stories about historical figures like Wild Bill Hickok and Amarillo Slim, illustrating the legendary and sometimes notorious allure of poker. The episode also explores how poker has become a performative art form rather than just a card game, touching on its symbolic representations in popular culture, like in 'Casino Royale.' Tom compares poker to the cooperative heist game 'The Gang,' deciding whether this 2025 iteration of the classic game has made it better or worse.'...Support the Podcast - Patreon https://www.patreon.com/c/TwentyMinuteTabletop/https://discord.com/invite/4jnudHjtk9Tabletop Upgrades Premium Gaming Accessories - https://www.tabletopupgrades.co.ukFoldscapes Wargaming Terrain : https://www.patreon.com/c/tabletopupgrades
