Comedy

A digital poker night with a cult following, it's the banter and the company that sets Poker Night at the Inventory apart. While the Texas Hold 'em is solid, it's the chance to play against characters from Team Fortress 2, Sam & Max, Homestar Runner, and Penny Arcade that elevates the experience. The sharp writing and unique personalities of the AI opponents make each hand memorable, and the unlockable in-game items are a nice bonus.

About Poker Night at the Inventory

Details
Prepare for a different kind of poker night in a very different kind of club. In Poker Night at the Inventory, you'll deal with Penny Arcade's clever, cunning Tycho, Team Fortress 2's hulking Heavy, Homestar Runner's self-proclaimed "awesome icon" Strong Bad and the hyperkinetic "rabbity-thing" from Sam & Max. These characters come together in ways some never thought possible, in a setting few would have predicted. Unlock new TF2 items by beating The Heavy, Max, Tycho, or Strong Bad at high stakes games of poker.
