Very cool idea. Personally, I forgot what cards are in play the very moment I dealt them. But I can see myself enjoying the game much more if I didn't had such bad memory.
Good job.

Potion CommotionThat's just adorable! Wow! The first game I've ever played that sucked me in, the gameplay and the idea is top notch. You are great and your work is super cool.

Hard CorridorReally loved the originality on this one, congrats! The concept is fun af, even tho It's a bit hard to keep in mind all the cards given to the players. Stimulated my gambling addiction 10/10

You, the universe and a buttonThis is such a nice twist on the theme, well done! An interactive tutorial would be great tho, especially for someone who does not know much about poker.

There Will Be LightGreat take on the theme. I love to help people cheat in winning a poker match =D

The Safest CityReally cool idea! It was a lot of fun rigging the game to help my accomplice win. Idk if it'd make the game too easy, but it'd be nice if it showed your accomplices hand or maybe you could peak at people's hands it and it'd raise suspicion or something, I would always forget what cards I gave to people lol. Great work on the game, I had fun helping my friend get rich!

Nine Lives Too ManyNot a fan of poker (I don't hate it but I haven't gotten into it either) and I don't know how to play it, but the gameplay was really . . . relaxing?
The monotony of dealing the cards and helping your friend was very calming. I like the atmosphere even if it was nothing special.
Cool game

TanDEMONiumI like poker and it was quite an interesting game for me. To play the role of a dealer, but sometimes it was difficult to remember which cards and to whom I give, but it was fun =)

Terrible supermarketPretty cool game. I liked the sfx and music. The visuals were pretty nice too!

Too Late To BrakeThe mechanics in your game are innovative and unique! They contain simple actions but can cause different consequences—quite enjoyable!
I can also imagine you adding more features to create deeper strategies in the game.

Mind the rulesThat was very fun and unique! I really like the perspective of the game how you are the dealer and you have to cheat without being too suspicious. The cards up the sleeve was also a really nice touch. Would love to see this game expanded in the future!
Submitted
Duct Tape & DespairVery fun! Probably played it longer than most other submissions. But i also love poker. Wasnt quite sure what made suspicion go up or down. Almost seemed random but I really enjoyed this. You should make a complete game outta this idea and release on steam. Or mobile!
