Shanghai Poker is a game of Mahjong with poker cards (square, pin, heart, clover). The idea came to me because I could not think well with Chinese symbols and pairs to make especially with the different families (seasons, flowers, dragons, etc ...) So I thought why not make the same game principle but with traditional cards usually used in the west. The principle remains the same: click on the identical cards to remove them completely and clear the game board. Card can be selected if and only if, it is called 'available'. Availability is, no other card does cover the blocks no other on the right and the left. You can change the background image or the type of card. I still kept the option of playing with tiles of classic Mahjong for fans of the original game. The current game can be saved automatically when you exit the game to replay later. So good fun, and tell me if you like the idea?

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Jukeblocks at none against ShangaiPoker's 10. Jukeblocks also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 65 months). ShangaiPoker's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
