It’s apparently a popular real life card game. P’anther knew of it. I think I’ve vaguely heard of it, but I’ve never played it. So I cautiously downloaded the trial version of the game. After a few hands getting used to the rules and filling in the blanks in the slightly rubbish online help I realised it was ace and bought the full version. (It’s a 400 point game, which seems fair.) No idea what makes it so compelling, but it is.

I’ve played a few single player games and one match online. Unfotunately, there don’t seem to be that many people playing so that match had only one other human player and two AIs making up the numbers. The other human won. I lost. I’ve lost all my matches so far.

At least one achievement you’re meant to get for winning a game got given to me for winning a hand. So that’s okay.
