Play Poker Against Blackbeard

While poker is the latest craze to sweep the globe, many characters throughout history have enjoyed the game as well. One could imagine Blackbeard the pirate and Sherlock Holmes playing the game, but what about Dracula or the Grim Reaper? These are all characters in the Candywriter computer game called Imagine Poker, where players pit their Texas Holdem skills against 21 famous and infamous characters. The game, available in both Mac OS and Windows formats, has been re-released with bonus characters, and the first level of the game is available for download as a trial.
