Social gaming giant Zynga has developed yet another addictive game for play on Facebook. FrontierVille, launched the first week of June 2010, is rapidly gaining favor among social gamers. After only six weeks, the pioneer themed application has snagged nearly 6 million daily active users, easily out pacing Texas HoldEm Poker, Treasure Isle and the grandfather of social gaming, Mafia Wars Game. Why Play FrontierVille With dozens of online games available, why choose FrontierVille as a favorite? Is it more fun, more challenging, more anything than the other Zynga games? Touted as the first of a new generation of online play, the application allows users to earn and use multiple avatars, presented in the guise of a spouse and child. Players must clear the land, build a cabin, plant crops and as any true sodbuster can attest, run a few rascally critters off the land. The multiple layers of action add an element of surprise-who knows when the next bear or groundhog will pop up-that the other Zynga products do not offer. The aspect of the unexpected combined with the ability to switch between three characters, helps to keep the game interesting and keep users logging in daily. FrontierVille Fundamentals Just like in the real world, the first thing that new FrontierVille citizens must do is clear the land. Trees, rocks, grass, wildflowers and the occasion cow's skull have to be removed to make way for crops and buildings. As the land is readied for improvements, pioneers gain money, wood, food, experience points and various items to complete bonus collections. Goodies are earned by both working for other homesteads and by hiring a neighbor as a farmhand. When players work on neighboring homesteads they earn reputation points as well as the usual experience, food, etc. Reputation points, indicated by little red clickable hearts, increase an individual's value as a hired hand. Continued Play As the game progresses, players complete challenges get married, have a child, build a town and harvest crops and animals. They also happen upon typical farmland hazards including some that need to be clobbered, scared, or otherwise driven off. More annoying than dangerous, these pesky varmints include snakes in the grass, bears in the woods, groundhogs in the crops, and of course, foxes in the hen house. The Future of FrontierVille There are several areas under development such as Rattlesnake Canyon and Gold Rush that promise to be filled with exciting adventure and plenty of bounty. These expansion zones will roll out as players reach the upper levels and need more incentive to stay in the game. The phenomenal numbers that Zynga experienced in 2009 slid a bit in 2010. However, the April 2010 release of Treasure Isle was the hottest launch of any Facebook social game with 7.5 million daily players its first week. Advertisers adore big numbers like these so the future for FrontierVille, and FarmVille and Treasure Isle for that matter seems bright. As long as the games' designers continue to create new areas, challenges, and bonus items, players will continue to log on.

Review of highest hands in poker::How Do You Play Omaha Poker
With the increasing popularity of poker around the country thanks to the television coverage of the World Series of Poker by ESPN, along with coverage of other events on different networks more home games are being formed. The great thing about home poker games is that you can organize a group to play on a regular basis where you know pretty much everyone at the game. You are also able to set your own limits and make the game as serious or casual as you want based on your group's preferences. Another great thing about home poker games is you can play poker variations that are not played at casinos. This allows you to choose poker variations that match what your group enjoys playing the most. Here are some new versions to try at your home game. SPLIT POT VARIATIONS Are you looking for a new split pot variation to play at your home game? Many play high/low, High Chicago, or Low Chicago. How about a different one from these standards though. Have the pot split between the winner of the poker hand, and the person with the most "spots" in their hole cards. Only the players who have not folded at the end of the hand can be eligible to win the split pot. To determine who has the most "spots" in their hole cards, add the face values of each person's hole cards to get a total. Aces count as one, and face cards count as zero. Whoever has the highest total splits the pot with the poker hand winner, if the poker hand winner has the highest total of spots in the hole they win the entire pot. STEAL YOUR OPPONENT'S CARDS How about a game where you can play defense and offense at the same time? Play standard seven card stud to start out. Here is the twist though. If a player is dealt a face up heart, they then can take any other player's face up card they wish. They keep both the heart they were dealt and the card they stole. The player who has their face up card stolen does not get it replaced. Even if none of the face up cards help you at the time, it's always good to steal one when you are dealt a heart that you think your opponent will be using for their hand. This game can have a lot of twists and turns in it. SEVEN CARD STUD VARIATIONS How about a couple games that change the rank of hands slightly. The first is Sevens take all. This is usually played in a standard seven card stud game with no wild cards. The rank of the winning hands and the play is exactly the same as seven card stud except for a single twist. The highest ranking hand, even higher than the royal flush, is a pair of sevens! Another variation my friends and I like to play on seven card stud without wild cards is one where four card flushes and four card straights rank in the list of hands. These come into ranking in between a pair and two pairs. A four card straight will defeat a pair, and a four card flush will defeat both a pair and a four card straight. Both of these four card hands though are defeated by any hand two pair or higher. This helps eliminate the dullness of pairs winning hands in seven card stud. Hopefully you will get a chance to play one or a few of these games as your next poker night with your friends. Remember, design the choice of games around the games that your friends enjoy playing. This will ensure that everyone has a fun night whether they win or lose. Of course though it's always more fun to win. |
