Irish Poker is an easy-to-play party game that can be played everywhere. Another cool thing about it is that the number of players might vary substantially, without changing the feel of the game. While we enjoyed playing the game, we would definitely suggest expanding the game and including the bus ride rules. That way it is even more fun and one of our absolute favorites.
