Read More Stories In Short: An expertly constructed and intricate roguelite deck builder that draws on the language and concept of poker, before twisting it with an infinity of modifiers, unlocks, and delicately balanced risk and reward.
Pros: A huge and evolving challenge. Its complication at no point feels overwhelming and its appeal relies on no prior knowledge of poker. Great value for money.
Cons: There’s no undo button, so mistakes can be catastrophically easy to make. Laser narrow focus does eventually start to get tiring.
Score: 9/10
