It gives the experience closure, but I still want more. It’s a real treat, and I can’t wait until enough time passes where a replay feels fresh again. ### 5/5 — Late Night, the Bar, Cards Still on the Table *2025-12-28* The game is set in a bar, creating the feeling that playing cards is also a chance to chat with old friends. It brought me comfort in my loneliness. The tarot and other related mechanics are well designed as well. There are two shortcomings, though: first, there is no cloud save feature; second, the story is too short. ### 1/5 — Que jogo mais tchatcha *2025-12-08* Pessimo ### 5/5 — High Replay Value *2025-12-01* The game is simple enough. In fact, it introduced me to a variant of poker I can play solo when I camp and don’t want screen time. The game is nice as a quick pass time I can play in a waiting room and swipe away from and come back to whenever. Won’t drain my battery. Doesn’t collect inappropriate data (Thank you!). The old western aesthetic, especially for the cards, is a nice change. If I had to pick something as a con: the music does get repetitive. It’s easy enough to turn that off and play muted, or open up my music app. 10/10 - Would Purchase Again. **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind review!

It’s easy to get started, but the well gets deeper the farther down you sink. The core mechanic is Yahtzee but with a deck of cards. You will need to get some unlock-ables with in-game gold to get some of the rarer hand types. But the game goes much further still. **Developer response:** Thank you HamFistedOaf! I appreciate your support. ### 5/5 — Lovely game *2025-08-16* What a well made and entertaining card game, please continue to update and support this gem, thank you ! **Developer response:** Thanks Chriss! ### 5/5 — Fun fast and free *2025-07-07* Great game with a high pace to learn poker. Enjoyed the game and will be playing and sharing with friends. ### 4/5 — Good gameplay but needs more content *2025-05-05* Fun love the aesthetic but maybe you could add scratch offs or somehow dice and roulette. Summary is I love gamboling and I need more ### 5/5 — Praise the Elder Flush! *2025-01-26* I love all things lovecraftian and have a healthy Balatro addiction, and this game is an absolute delight to me. The core gameplay mechanics involve some traditional and other very non-traditional poker/yahtzee hands. It’s a game that has a honestly surprising amount of depth to it both in the mechanics that are discovered through play and a backstory that is revealed as you chat with the bartender eventually requiring some actually rewarding puzzle solving elements to the game that get more interesting as it progresses twords it’s climax.. and yes, there is an end and no I will absolutely NOT spoil it here other than know this… forever has it slept…(developers, PLEASE TELL ME THE REST OF THE TRANSLATION!! YOU KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!) Definitely worth its price, and the game itself on a technical side is great with no bugs or issues and the gameplay itself is hard to put down. 11/10. Fantastic job, Devs. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for your review! Glad you enjoyed it and that you figured out the rest of the translation :) ### 5/5 — I'm amazed this doesn't have more reviews *2025-01-24* I'm really enjoying it. It's very polished, the music is great and the card animations. It hits my Yahtzee and balatro itch, but without being as time consuming to get through a whole game as the second. Hope it gets more attention. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review and the support Jeynonymouse! ## Frequently asked questions about Pine Tar Poker ### What is Pine Tar Poker?
