The artstyle is gorgeous. Music felt like I was at the pub playing cards so you hit it perfectly! Gameplay was strategic and well thought out. Goob job :)

Really amazing work! Visually impressive, music and the sfx were perfect. I loved the card designs, you can quickly get the information you need and showing description on hover was really creative. Gameplay is also really fun, it makes you plan when to hold cash and when to spend to take cards from your oponnent. Awesome game, I loved it!

This was really cool, I'm glad I clicked on it! The art direction is fantastic, you tied everything together so well and really evoked the setting and atmosphere. All fonts are really well chosen, the way your opponents sit down is hilarious, there is huge amounts of polish throughout and the cards are all animated in a really satisfying way to make this a promising deck builder.

It's not quite mygenre, and I don't play a lot of deck builders, so I have a harder time judging the quality of the cardgame. It took me a while to understand the importance of the discard pile so it wasn't unti later levels thatI realized the potential for strategy. A short tutorial would be great! Most of the time I felt like I was just spamming pickpockets and hoping for the best,and that did get me through.  Mr. Big in the end had a few opportunities to beate but his AI didn't realize that XD 

Once I understood more of it I had more fun, and the inclusion of more card types towards the end definitely improved it a lot. The first round was more tedious in that regard as it felt like just slow back and forth chipping away of the other's resources.

fantastic entry, it felt really good to play and had so much charm.

Great entry! I like the concept and the idea of your money functioning as both your hp and the resource you spend on playing cards. The art is great and the gameplay is very intuitive. I know you're going for that old-time feel which is working great, but I'd consider adding some color to the cards for some extra eye-candy and ease of recognition. I very much enjoyed your game, deck building games are in so there's definitely a place for this. It's unique enough to stand out!

Thanks for playing. Our first time making a deck-builder. Colored-cards is a cool idea, maybe pale pascals for an old-timey Western style. We toyed with the idea of making it two-player PvP, but didn't want to gamble on the time, and wanted to focus on polish and balance. We tried it on paper prototype, and it was a different experience.

Pvp could be interesting, maybe you could still have pve encounters first and then you'd play PVP as the final boss for the level (like in Balatro Multiplayer if you're familiar). I'll be looking out for this project in the future, I really believe this has great potential!

Its a beautiful game with extremely realistic and detailed mechanics which gives the player an unparalleled and unforgettable experience. It really reminds me of when I used to hang with Mr Bugsy Siegel , Mr Vito Genovese and Meyer Lansky. Wow, how wonderful were those days!
