The hype is real. There's no microtransactions, no multiplayer, it's just about building the best deck with as many synergies as possible and getting the highest score you can. If you played Magic or even Inscryption, you'll feel right at home.

"It's a deck of playing cards. How much more fun can it be, compared to the 50+ other solitaire games? And why would I want to play poker by myself?"

So I got a bit of money leftover after bills, and decided to get it anyway cause I haven't played anything fun this year. Went in blind without reading or watching any reviews.

Turns out it's NOT just your standard deck of playing cards. You can do all sorts of crazy things to your deck. Like playing illegal hands such as five-of-a-kind, or a flush house. It's a lot of fun.

Addicting, fun, loads of builds/options.
I do wish the early game was a bit more reliable. You can get stuck always playing catchup if you dont get a scoring joker in tge first couple shops

Just try the demo. Play 3 hands. You'll know if it's for you
