Prepare for a different kind of poker night in a very different kind of club. In Poker Night at the Inventory, you'll deal with Penny Arcade's clever, cunning Tycho, Team Fortress 2's hulking Heavy, Homestar Runner's self-proclaimed awesome icon Strong Bad and the hyperkinetic rabbity-thing from Sam & Max. These characters come together in ways some never thought possible, in a setting few would have predicted.
