Multimodal interaction and face-to-face communication between players are aspects of traditional board games which contribute to their popularity. Such aspects are also typical of digital tabletop games. But in addition to that, digital systems allow for a higher level of multimodality through utilizing novel interaction devices or physiological input data. In this paper, we describe a multimodal tabletop Poker game which makes use of both: additional interaction devices and physiological input data. We outline the tabletop game, the interaction modalities involved, and observations of players.
