Ratings and reviews

love this game, already poured tons of hours into console version and put more on the phone as well, but I lost my saved stakes recently, did not even start a new profile or game, I just booted the app up on accident while I was on a hike, then came back home and found all of my stakes gone, there needs to be a better local save solution, Google Play cannot be relied on as my experience with other games loosing my progress is tied to their shoddy system. But other than that, this game is gas.

The game is great but quite hard if you want to unlock everything on your own and get the achievements. 5/5 The problem is that using restoring cloud saves should not delete progress and be additive I think. I currently have a chip on my blue deck after my first win yesterday, however I don't have the associated unlocked deck anymore. It's annoying.

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.
