Not gonna lie, I was suspicious when I saw it was a card game – I feel like it’s a bit too much of a trend at the moment. HOWEVER!!!!!!! I had no idea what I was in for with Card Wrangler, and I’m happy to say I think it kicks ass. I had a lot of fun playing multiple times, trying to figure out what upgrades to prioritise, getting a sense for what animals tended to appear where, and aiming for a better score (my high score is 57). I’m not sure how the hell to play good enough to get to the point where cattle/horses/bandits are relevant, because I was still catching chickens/sheep/pigs by the time my best playthrough ran out, and I thought I was playing pretty damn well. I’d love to see the devs be absolutely cracked at it some time. The art is also suuuuper cute!

So much to love about this game, from the art, to the sound, to the gameplay, everything feels great. Honestly thought this was gonna be a deckbuilder and was pleasantly surprised
