There are some nice moments in here, but I found the game to be too unstructured and largely frustrating.

Also, how can blowtorching the corn not make popcorn????

Played for game of the month club with my friends. I didn't think I would get into a poker themed game but I was hooked pretty immediately. What a ride.

My main nitpicks are it's just a little too random / hard to steer, and I think it's also a little too completionist gated - I hate that I need to beat each ante on each deck. I had done 4 or 5 on a deck that I don't find particularly interesting before realizing that was the case. Love the joker art and really like trying to put engines together, though.

I worried that this game would be a little too memelike for me. But it ended up having some cool technical bits going on and using sound and light in really interesting ways. I was particularly moved by the cello scene, and I found myself imagining the dull disappointment that a similar scene in a AAA context would likely fill me with, while this game pulled it off with a golden zelda poké-whale. At the same time that I kept clicking and walking around wondering what to do next, I was really impressed by the way it maintained my attention over time and paced things out.
