Poker/Scrabble mash-up Poker Pals on iPhone going free on March 9th

The developer of poker / Scrabble hybrid Poker Pals will be inviting iPhone owners to go all-in on March 9th when the game becomes free to download on the App Store.

A curious mixture of popular boardgame and classic card game, Aspyr's multiplayer genre mash-up surprised critics by being, well... rather good.

In the PG Silver Award-winning Poker Pals, you take it in turns to lay card tiles on a 7x7 grid, and try to build poker hands for points.

There are joker cards in the corners of the board, which - in keeping with Scrabble's word score multipliers - can increase the value of your hand, earning you high scores and gloating privileges.

If you fancy practising your virtual poker face over the coming weeks, head over to the App Store this Friday and download a free copy of Poker Pals on iPhone.
