ta bien
Addictive, technically decent game. But the gameplay is pure gambling, no skill, unless realising that squares have the biggest area of all rectangles is a skill for you. It is fun, but after playing it my mind feels numb. So I'm going to recommend against it, similar to Luck be a Landlord. It is probably more fun to watch someone else play this game. If you're looking at this game because you like poker, this has nothing to do with poker except for the starting deck (but later not even that) and being roughly inspired by poker's scoring system. It is much more luck-based than poker and completely lacks the betting element, which I believe to be the essential part of poker (but I'm not a poker player so maybe I'm wrong). Obviously this has absolutely nothing to do with roguelikes, so ignore silly Steam tags. Maybe except some minimal inventory management and some simple procedural generation but virtually every game these days have those. It's also not a deckbuilding game, because you start with a full deck and you can easily win the game without modifying the deck at all (AFAIK you have to rely on a standard deck for the first few runs because you don't even have deck manipulation unlocked at that point). If you like watching big numbers appear on your screen, I suggest a standard incremental game without gambling elements instead.
No necesito mucho de jugarlo para saber que te descontará años de tu vida jugar esta cosa de lo adictivo que es. No recomendable para ludopatas.
fun game but often lose due to boss blinds, this game is gas station sushi. good enough to enjoy till running for the toilet and sending alot of chunks painting the bowl.
