ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Card Crawl 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Card Crawl 2 has 413 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Card Crawl 2's written reviews are positive against 62% of Goritaire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Card Crawl 2 ships an update weekly, Goritaire every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
