BrainPoker - To play BrainPoker, you need a poker set, a smartphone or a computer and a few of your friends to play with. The rules for BrainPoker are similar to the rules of poker, except you answer the trivia questions to win. You get a question, i.e. "What is the capital of Zimbabwe?" Instead of betting on a poker combination, you bet on your potentially right or wrong answer. And, just like in poker, you can play for money, too. You get a lot of free questions but you can also buy and sell questions at marketplace Brainpoker.me.
