Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I got this as part of a bundle and really tried to make it work for me, but it was hard to escape the 'solitare with animations' feeling I got from the game. I'm sure a greater enthusiast for card games will find something they like in…”
“Extremely simplistic gameplay, unfortunately the skills and poker set gameplay mix poorly and in a way, not at all. While it's an interesting idea, all the elements are located at surface level, leaving no sense of deep strategy.”
