Stand on the knife’s edge between risk and reward. The turn of a single card can win bags of treasure or lose it all in this simple and strategic game of chance and skill. Every card you draw could be your last, but the right mix of wit and courage wins the booty. “Creative card game that starts out simple and layers on the strategy” Gamezebo – 9/10 “If you're after a polished and fun card game, this should be your first port of call.” PocketGamer – 8/10 “‘baller x-treme’ (that is a compliment)” Tycho of Penny-Arcade “You’re not just getting a nifty card game; you’re getting a long steady feed of new ways to play.” Quarter to Three – 4/5 stars “Best New Games” and “What We’re Playing” -Apple Dead Man’s Draw combines luck and strategy in a simple card-drawing format. Pulling the wrong card could bust your entire hand, but choosing the right target for a cannon blast or following a treasure map to the best destination can turn the tides in your favor more than any blind luck ever could.

Try to get all your work done before you run out of coffee and candy in Finished! by renowned board and card game designer Friedemann Friese. Deal 3 cards at a time, like regular solitaire but you can use candy to activate cards to draw more and rearrange them. Gain more candy when you have a run of cards (e.g. 7-8-9). If you love Spider or FreeCell solitaire you'll love Finished! Finished! features fantastic fun, smooth animation, subtle sound effects and dynamic music that changes with your gameplay. Try the Daily Challenge which Friedemann plays *every* day. See if you can literally beat him at his own game. :)
