Skill Games NewsThwartPoker Set for Online LaunchWhen Daniel Pfeiffer was 17 years old, he became captivated by a card game his father invented. A mathematician, Arthur Pfeiffer found poker interesting but thought chance played too large a role in the game, so in 1984 he created a version of poker called "Pickem, " which eliminated the element of luck.All cards were played face up in Arthur Pfeiffer's game, and each player selected his own cards. Players tried to make the best hand while blocking their opponents from making an even better hand. To make card selection possible, he created a prototype "Dealer, " which read, stored, and dealt cards. The machine was controlled by a microcomputer, and each player had a port to "dial in" his card selection. Once selections were made, the dealer would distribute the cards under the control of the microcomputer.
