Way too addictive! I was skeptical when my friend recommended it, but it deserves all the awards that it has won. Don't be fooled by the ESRB rating suggesting it's gambling because it isn't. Money resets every game and is not the goal to win. It merely borrows a lot of poker terminology and redefines it all. There are no in-app purchases. This is a classic buy-to-own solo game. Score big to defeat the minimum points limit before you run out turns. It's as simple as that, while very complex too.

Awesome game, but not optimized very well for a cell phone. I'm running a galaxy s23 ultra and it gets really hot and eats the battery like crazy. Would give this a 5 if it didn't feel like it was going to kill my phone. I tried turning off everything graphical in the settings and it didn't make a dif. Searching online, this seems to be a fairly common problem. In comparison, i can play civ 6 on my phone for much longer and don't see any issues with that, which should be much more demanding.

Exactly the amazing addictive rougelike everyone says. I've loved my time, and think I'll eventually buy it on PC too for the mods. I've just got 2 little issues. 1. Sometimes the sell or use button pops up on a card like if you hold it, but doesn't go away. 2. I'm not sure if it's intentional, buy unlike the PC version no matter the game speed moving the jokers while the hand is active does not seem to be working for me.
