I can stop whenever I want (No, I can’t).

An extremely addictive rougelite. The idea is that you’re given a hand of cards, and you play Poker hands in order to earn points. Each round has a set number of points to hit with a limited number of hands, and the point targets go higher with every round.

In order to keep up with the high point targets, you must use Jokers, Planet, and Tarot cards in order to increase your multipliers. Once you run out of hands without hitting the target, the run is over and you must start over from the beginning.

It is a very simple game, but there is a ton of variety in playstyles. It’s also nice to just watch the numbers go up to crazy amounts (there’s an Steam achievement to hit 100 million points with one hand). You can different decks to use with different rules, and the possibilities really do seem infinite.

My main issue with the game is that Flushes are super overpowered. The multiplier is high and it’s the easiest to pull off consistently. There is definitely merit to using other hand types, but it’s easy to fall back into when things go wrong. The game could use a little more balance. Also, the CRT graphics and screen shake are kind of annoying - I recommend turning them off in Settings.

Besides that, I have no complaints. This is the best card video game since Slay the Spire - pick it up if you don’t mind losing hundreds of hours of your life.
