Really addictive roguelike deck builder. The rules are based on poker, but the real fun is in the jokers that have different abilities. So much variety in gameplay, so many cool synergies. Its a great feeling when you stumble upon a new joker combo that you think is going to put you on easy street. Only to then be faced with a brutal boss blind that you didn't prepare for. It's a 10 out of 10 game but I'm leaving a little room in my score because I know the game is gonna be way better after a couple years worth of updates.
