A faithful reimagining of an old favourite
This is great. Fun to play, no creepy ads, nice adventure story to wrap it all up in. Thank you for making this game!
Great game
Really like this one, it’s not too deep but a good challenge, hope it will get more updates like branching path instead of a single line, maybe a few more classes or weapons, but otherwise really a good game!
I Have Been WAITING
I miss sword Poker 1 & 2 soooo much. If I had to guess, each provided about 40 hours of game play. And replay value.
This game 1 hour. I purchased in hopes they will produce a real campaign game. If they do, I will pass this game on to my board game community.
Giving it three stars as there is so little gameplay, or I would give it a 5.

Great game like an old favorite
Opponent played 9-K and got credited for a royal flush. Was even holding the A.
Game gets stuck when making invalid hand.
Review changed to 5 stars due to quick response!
Theres no back button. The background is blacked out and user is forced to try and make a hand, but cant. The only way out is to Abort the run.

Response from developer
Hi, you should be able to drag the first card back to your hand from the board. Thanks for the feedback, I’ll look at improving the tutorial regarding this.
Great Game, BUT
The seeds are all here. But we need more levels and more classes and more weapons and more creatures and more repeatability. Please keep updating, happy to pay for expansion.
More of a demo than a game
Went through it in 20 minutes.
A wonderful love letter to Sword and Poker
I’ve only just started playing but this game is great. It’s a wonderful reimagining of the old Sword and Poker games. A roguelike fits the game type perfectly.
Thank you
Sword and Poker was one of my favorite games on my phone… been looking for a sub for a long time. This gives me my fix… please continue to expand this game 🙏🏼 much gratitude!!!
Great Surprise
The game is waaay better than it may look. The gameplay and strategy is deep and works on many levels. You can just try to find best combinations, or you may think about the future, take into account the skills you have (save these sweet clubs as a warrior) or even look at your opponent cards and try to see what you need to prevent them doing. 5 stars well deserved, thank you!
Couple of suggestions:
1. Add quick play button, it’s painfully slow once you get a hang of it.
2. Allow to choose the type of the starting weapon. And then after the battle just offer to “improve your weapon” (+1 to current weapon) or take the an artefact. The reason is because a warrior will never take a bow, for example, why even give this choice?
I believe this will make the game less random, while offering better replayability.
Thabk you for the game!

Return of the King!
Thank you so much for bringing this game back to all of us.
Awesome!
Love this game! Brings back the old memories and done right. Challenging but not impossible. A few things are missing like a store to sell and buy weapons, but I’m sure the dev is working on upgrades. Highly recommend!
I find this game!
Sword and poker was very good game. I think game developer was very concern how make fun different style. I recommend this game all puzzle and rpg gamer.
Great callback to Swords&Poker
Swords&Poker was my favorite mobile game and it was a sad day when it could no longer run. I love that this game brings back the gameplay.
Agreed it’s short, but I happy supported the dev in hopes that enough people will give them a reason to keep updating the game.
Great work in bringing back a great gameplay style!

Great replacement for Swords and Poker
Fun game. Great
Mechanics. Could be longer. I have only found one spell/weapon combo I can reliably win with, though I have only occasion won with other combos. Scratches my old S&P itch.

Fun game. Great
Mechanics. Could be longer. Unfortunately, +1 buffs from character proficiencies and totem artifacts don’t actually work. For example, a mage should get +1 damage when wielding a staff but that doesn’t happen. Still a great game.

Response from developer
Hi, thanks! The buffs should work - the Simple Staff that mages begin with actually has a base damage of 1 for one pair, but with the proficiency it’s 2, and if you get the Imp Idol, the damage goes up to 3. The damage numbers are also blue when the weapon receives a buff of some kind. If this isn’t the case for you though, do let me know. I’m working on chapter 4, which will hopefully be out in a month or so!
Disappointing
The devs have taken a good and clever game and made it boring.
The original presented the player with choices and goals Each level of the game showed player the opponents, and rewards, they would encounter and presented multiple paths to to victory, or defeat.
Players made choices that permitted them to form their character to their own choosing.
This version is a simple trek of kill the next monster and pick a random reward, with very little player agency.
The devs added complexity without preserving playability. Where the original provided outcomes for the full range of poker hands this version reduces variety by lumping the low probability hands into a single outcome, then tags a handful poker breaking cheats as rewards.
It became tedious halfway through the first play through.
Most annoyingly, the game does not allow tablet rotation, forcing play with the power connection at the bottom, precluding playing while connected to a power source.
This app is, at best, a poor copy of a much better game.
