DEF

Il se joue à 2 joueurs ou plus, avec 5 dés dont les faces portent un neuf, un dix, un valet, une dame, un roi et un as, suivant leurs valeurs croissantes. L'as joue le rôle d'un joker.

OBS

Le premier joueur peut jouer 3 coups au maximum en conservant ou en reprenant tout ou partie des 5 dés. Les combinaisons de jeu sont celles du poker, dans l'ordre croissant : une paire, deux paires, une séquence, un brelan, un full, un carré, un quinton ou pointu ou quinte (5 figures identiques).

OBS

Le "poker d'as" tire son nom de l'anglais "poker dice", c'est-à-dire "poker aux dés", altéré par la prononciation française.
