Good roguelike, though almost all the strategy is in finding an X Joker. Not skill based.
This game is extremely addicting and has a nice learning curve. Many strategies can work, the game is surprisingly deep and replayable.
Who knew a rouge-lite poker game was what everyone needed in their gaming lives?
wow, this game is so addictive, i need to sleep
I got really sucked into this game for a good 25 hours. I'll probably keep picking it up from time to time. It's extremely fun to learn how to build decks and find synergies but as I got into the higher difficulties, it lost its spark a bit for me. At those difficulties, it felt like runs could go south due to bad luck too easily and I began losing motivation to keep putting time into it.

Unlimited replayability and possibilities. One of the best deck builders / rogue-likes I've ever played.
Deck-building Poker Like. Amazing from the start and once you grasp all the possibilities you can’t stop to play!! So addicting and well worth the price!
