Card Shark PC Game 2022 review:
a stunning and refreshing strategy game. It’s not exactly a card game, but it’s all about poker. An adventure game full of cunning, conspiracy, and sweet tricks.
“Our adversaries tonight? An unscrupulous group of scoundrels and rogues rumored to possess an unlimited fund between them. If we stick to the strategies you’ve learned, this will be a walkover.” – Comte de Saint-Germain. Card Shark is an adventure game full of cunning, intrigue, and delectable deceit. Enter a world where you’ll need to play your opponents better than you play your cards.
card shark is a game about cheating people out of their money. specifically, it’s a game about taking the french aristocracy for suckers whilst trying to avoid becoming a victim yourself of the schemes and violence around you. the cards are just the tool by which you do this, the game being played with them never committing to a consistent ruleset; high-value cards are good? having a lot of a suit is good? knowing someone’s high card allows you to beat them? it’s all a bit abstract. you win or lose solely by your ability to glean and signal information you’re not supposed to have, to palm cards, to do a good bad job shuffling.
