Go on a journey and fight monsters... by playing poker hands!

Ratings and reviews

This is a FANTASTIC game idea, all it needs now are different classes you can play as, each with their own abilities. Like for example, a Summoner class that changes one card on the board for a card in your hand, or a Barbarian class that lets you delete a card from the board, or something like that. I feel like, if this game had more skills (classes) to use, it could really become something popular that streamers play again and again. Essentially, this needs MORE classes to play.

I've only been playing for an hour or so (so far), but the core Gameplay loop and mechanics are really solid. It's a fun mash up of poker, BINGO, and Roguelike RPGs. I'm looking forward to beating the game with the free character (archer), and then giving the paid characters a try. As of now, this is an easy recommend for a game that I imagine will only get better with time and a little bit of polish.

Finally someone has remade one of my favorite games of all time. It's very similar to Sword and Poker but a tiny bit less polished. The lack of polish is not a problem, however, since what made Sword and Poker so good was the gameplay. My favorite addition here is the copious amounts of additional charms and spells. I have only done one run through but I could see myself playing this a LOT.

Fixed an issue where you could end up fighting training dummies only.
