Okay I’m going to try to keep this simple as honestly I’m pretty confused how I feel about this game.
I enjoyed every minute of playing it, but at the end of it I’m feeling empty. I literally did everything I could, fought every battle visited every location cleared every arena and got every achievement. The game could be finished easily a lot faster than my own clocked hours,
I was crawling and searching through the dust hoping for more content.
What is here is really solid, good battle system, a decent selection of cards.

Blackjack Hands
Loved this game, it’s a great mashup between threes and blackjack.
I loved to play poker hands, this sequence is also very good.
I recommend this game if you want a relaxing but also challenging puzzle game

Interesting idea to mix puzzles and card games rules. Random elements brings a touch of card game feel.
Art is simple but nice, as well as the relaxing soundtrack. Good for card fans.

edit: the april 9 patch fixed some technical issues, so I edited the review to reflect said changes.
poker hands mixes the matching mechanics from games like 2048 with the rules of poker. move all available cards at the same time and try to create hands (5 cards) according to the goals displayed in the top right corner. pushing cards against walls merges them, but you can also use incomplete hands to block, as you can’t merge two hands of 3 cards, for example.
