Wonderful game
The best and worst thing about a game like this is that there is an end. 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.
Late Night, the Bar, Cards Still on the Table
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.

Que jogo mais tchatcha
Pessimo
High Replay Value
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.

Tons of Roguelike Fun
This game has been so much fun. 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.

Lovely game
What a well made and entertaining card game, please continue to update and support this gem, thank you !
Fun fast and free
Great game with a high pace to learn poker. Enjoyed the game and will be playing and sharing with friends.
Good gameplay but needs more content
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
Praise the Elder Flush!
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.

I'm amazed this doesn't have more reviews
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.
Epic and awesome in every way
Great mood and atmosphere. At first it might not seem like much, but there’s a hidden depth to this game, as evidenced by the fact that the endgame involves Lovecraftian imagery, cryptography, and an incredible amount of creativity. Everything about it was perfect to me. If you like Balatro, there is also a roguelite metagame here too. Enjoy! Explore! Well deserved praise. All hail Yog Sothoth

Simple, charming game
I really enjoyed this game. The cozy art style and the optional story that you can discover made it even more fun than the Yahtzee/Poker/magical stones combination alone. Was a little confused on some parts, but I think the vagueness adds to the game.
Only thing I’m still not sure of is where the game truly ends. I purchased the final(?) item for 10000 but can’t figure out if there’s more to explore with it or not. Would love an answer for this.
Keep up the good work!

Like Balatro or Inscryption? Get this game
Super fun and addictive roguelike that slowly reveals that it’s more than just plain rounds of poker.
Extremely Addicting!
What a great game! Love poker and this is a very fun and engaging challenge. Happened across it while browsing to scratch a Balatro itch. Love the art style, piecing together snippets of the world, figuring out how items work and playing round after round. Plus the music is good! Looking forward to additional content or follow-up games from this developer!

Richtig nett
……aber wie soll man „der Einsiedler verdient nicht eine einzige Münze“ lösen.

Versuchen Sie, ein Spiel mit einer so niedrigen Punktzahl zu beenden, dass Sie kein Geld verdienen. Tut mir leid, wenn das keinen Sinn ergibt, ich spreche kein Deutsch!
New Favorite Card Game!
A great game that makes you think, but not too hard. I just assumed it to be a typical poker game, but it actually feels pretty unique. I would recommend better descriptions for some of the items like the pencil, because people like me who aren’t too familiar with card game strategies don’t really benefit from it. That being said, this is definitely worth the 3.99 I paid, and then some! Thanks to Jerma for introducing me to the game and the developers for the passion that went into making it great!

Brilliant, but missing some QoL features
The game is great, fun, addicting and griping.
The setting and supernatural elements are reminiscent of Inscryption, and are awesome.
But the game is missing some options to give player choice, like turning off the upgrades.
If we could turn off the runes/lens upgrades, as well as the permanent card upgrades, for a more traditional game without the powers and abilities, I would like it a lot more, especially if you could turn them off individually, as I would turn off the lens and runes, but keep the pencil.

Interesting idea TheGChus! I appreciate the feedback, gives me something to think about. Thanks for the review.
Good place to start
Helpful for teaching kids basic hands. Kids love it. Now they’re off to Texas Hold’em as well.
Sehr schön
Entspanntes Spiel mit schöner Atmosphäre. Ich mags und bin gespannt, was hinter den ganzen mysteriösen Andeutungen des Barkeepers steckt 😀

Danke schön!
Addictive Poker Puzzle Game
I don’t generally ever get addicted to what we lovingly refer to in my house as clicky games.
PineTar poker was another story, I loved having to figure out the tarot cards riddles and also just the challenge of a unusual rules poker game.
I even beat the boss / floating eye! But I had to read a few forum posts to do so.
I bought everything including the broken rune stone for $10,000 but I have no idea how to activate it!
Maybe there will be a hint for that soon. ;)
