However one of the between level minigames (matching) can stop working (can’t click on cards) and cause you to lose your progress on the game ### 3/5 — Needs save/restore *2023-03-02* Fun game. But desperately needs a save/continue function. Also, for new players, having the ability to hold down a card and read a description would be a big help. And some rules feel “hidden.” For example, in Endurance mode, leaving unmatched cards on the table at the end of a round appears to increase your karma. But that’s not the case in Standard mode. Also, is there no way to get rid of glowing curse cards? When they reach the bottom they lose their strength and stop glowing. But from there they’re just stuck at the bottom for the rest of the round? And finally, some of the menu descriptions are kind of clunky. For example, “Shows Game Statistics,” “Show Achievements,” Show Leaderboards?” Why not just “Statistics,” “Achievements,” “Leaderboards?” “View Credits?” How about just “Credits.” The less searching the eye does the more fluid the experience. ### 4/5 — Great game but… *2023-01-18* Please, please add a way to save and continue. I sometimes see “Return to the Game” in Settings but it’s inconsistent and buried where most people wouldn’t even look. Mobile games are the kind where you want to play for a few minutes here and there but these games can last a while. To lose your progress if you need to close the app is maddening. Gameplay itself is fantastic! ### 5/5 — Great poker puzzle game! *2022-08-14* Very well done, with enough increasing challenge to keep you occupied. Not sure if later levels allow it yet but maybe the occasional option to swap diagonally or with any card on the board could spice things up a bit. If you like poker mechanics in a puzzle format, this is a must. Also, it doesn’t save your game if the phone RAM reloads. Any way to allow for saving of progress? ### 5/5 — Very Fun *2022-04-12* I enjoy playing the game in my freetime. ### 5/5 — Fun Game *2022-04-10* Totally different than any game I’ve played before. Very fun for the plane trip. ### 5/5 — Best of both worlds! *2022-04-06* If you love poker and match three games this is the game for you! Absolutely love the theme and art style of the game. ### 5/5 — Fun game with great music! *2022-04-06* Great combination of poker and tarot! I like the background music too. ### 5/5 — Super fun poker game! *2022-04-05* Love the cool tarot card graphics and the curse cards make it challenging. ### 5/5 — WOW!! *2022-04-05* WSOP needs to see this game.
