Pokerish – Poker Knight Review

This is really a card puzzle game that uses some poker mechanics. You don't "play poker" in any meaningful sense, as there is no betting. As the game progresses you unlock 'amulets' that let you manipulate the deck (e.g. draw more cards, remove cards from the 'board', etc.), and you get bonuses for using those to win battles quickly and with higher-ranked hands. Fun so far, though a little repetitive. Dialogue manages not to be terrible. The bonus battles against the 'spirits' feel too random - e.g. making only flushes is just a matter of what you get dealt. Maybe a better mechanic would be that you have to make hands at *or above* a certain rank. These would also be more fun IMO if you had a fixed number of turns (10? 15?) rather than a time limit...
