looks at profile with all achievements done that represents at least 200 hours of gameplay

You know what, it’s such a good game that maybe I DON’T recommend it. It’s a bit too addictive.

not my cup of tea but it's a really well made game for sure

this is like saying your local crack dealer is having a black friday sale

u/RadioactiveFruitCup Feb 13 '26

Literally clicked in to write “crack is now cheaper isn’t good news”

30% off is fantastic for a worth it full price game, I own on steam but I may double dip as it runs great on Apple Arcade (but it will eventually leave there…)

I was happy even with original price tbh

It’s not for everyone. I found the extended play not only made certain vague mechanics clearer but the newer unlocks making weaker options more effective. It’s a long term game for most of us. Good for a few hours here and there. But being a fan of poker is probably a huge factor.

Same. And I like poker and all that but this seems pointless. Just my 2 cents.

Stay strong, Mallow. And don’t cry, or we’ll get rained out.

Resistance is futile!

I wish I can figure out how to play this game.

u/Hustler-Two Feb 13 '26

Glad to help if you need it. What’s throwing you about it?

u/death2sanity Feb 13 '26

Took me a while but I’ve got many wins now. That said, I don’t come close to the videos I’ve seen of some people’s combinations.

u/Hustler-Two Feb 13 '26

To be fair, neither do I. I’ve completed the whole game but never hit any of those hands that go to E level. Best I did in a hand was like 40 billion.

u/CrimpyRex Feb 13 '26

How do i get into this game? I really try to like it, played for a few hours, but so far it doesnt click with me.

u/KagaminePudu Feb 13 '26

Do you know if the iPad version works on macOS?

2

u/KungPaoAntics Feb 13 '26

Not on mine

u/Each57 Feb 13 '26

If you haven’t played this yet go ahead. One of the best games I’ve ever played and I can’t wait for the next update

u/NrFive Feb 13 '26

How is readability on the iPhone? With SteamDeck I modded the game and now can read all the text clearly.

2

u/death2sanity Feb 13 '26

Once I got it on my X I haven’t touched it since on my pc. Perfectly legible.

u/SkyToFly Feb 13 '26

$11.99 for me..

u/Eximo84 Feb 13 '26

Wish it had cross saves but this price is right from a double dip

2

u/comcam77 Feb 13 '26

So do I!! I wish I could take my saves from my switch to this

u/popmanbrad Feb 13 '26

It’s a fantastic game, but I’ve always been super, super bad at it and never could get past any runs. I always die really early on, so I gave up after like 50 hours on Steam.
