This console-based application is designed to simulate a simplified version of the classic poker variant, Five-Card Draw. In this variant, each player is dealt a hand of 5 cards, with the option to swap any number of those cards for new ones. However, in this particular implementation, there is no card swapping allowed. Players will compete against each other based on the standard 5-card poker hand rankings.

Dealing Hands: The application deals a hand of 5 cards to each player participating in the game.

Hand Evaluation: The program evaluates and compares poker hands based on the standard 5-card poker hand rankings (e.g., pairs, two pairs, three of a kind, straight, flush, full house, etc.).

Console Interface: The entire interaction with the application is done through the console, providing a user-friendly experience.

Built with C#, Dapper, and SQL Server: The application is developed using the C# programming language. Dapper, a simple object mapper for .NET and SQL Server, is employed for data access and management.
