No Limit Texas Dreidel

December 11, 2009 (lohud.com) - As Hanukkah begins this evening...

If you’ve ever played the Dreidel game, you know that it can get old fast.

You take turns spinning the top-like Dreidel. Depending on which of four Hebrew letters comes up, you either win the pot (of pennies, candies, whatever), win half the pot, lose what you have or lose a turn.

And that’s it.

So I laughed when I learned that a company called ModernTribe.com has jazzed up the old Dreidel game by inventing No Limit Texas Dreidel, a game that combines Dreidel with poker.

Yee-hah!

Their website proclaims: “Experience Dreidel in a whole new way.”
