Quick Start
New to Duper? You're in the right place! Let's get you up to speed in no time.
What is Duper?
Duper is a 5-player free-for-all game where strategy meets deception and real money prizes. Think chess/TFT's strategy, Catan's trading, Among Us's deception, and Poker's card play—all rolled into one exciting 20 minute session. While there's a free-to-play mode, the real thrill comes with real money stakes.

How do I win?
Two paths to victory:
- Own a lot of tiles, more than anyone else
- Hold a 5-card straight flush for one round (see Cards)
How do I earn?
Here's the fun part! Winning and earning are different in Duper, and winning is just one way to score. After someone wins:
- Winner gets their entry fee back (you never lose money when you win!)
- Remaining prize pool is split based on winner-minted gems each player owns
Pro tip: Either win yourself or befriend the likely winner to get their gems through diplomacy.
