I bought this game on April 6th as a late birthday gift for myself. I currently have 40 hours on it and just beat Gold Stakes. I've been completely incapable of peeling myself away from it. I'm constantly thinking about how I can play the game better. I find myself going to bed thinking about how I can use jokers like Blueprint to get away with absolutely filthy builds. I wake up thinking maybe this will be the day I get a Straights build to work (it still hasn't worked). I tried playing Old School Runescape on my second monitor while playing this and every time I just ended up AFK'ing long enough on OSRS and getting autokicked while standing next to a river with an inventory full of fish. I went to a Magic: The Gathering pre-release event and realized I was constantly reordering the cards in my hands based on their colors and costs. When I spoke to a friend of mine and found out they had also been playing the game, it became the only thing we talked about for the rest of the shift. I don't watch youtube videos while I eat anymore, I just play this game instead. This game has succeeded in awakening my inner gambler.

I'm absolutely cooked.
