The sequel to the excellent Sword & Poker came out a few days ago. It sounds like more of the same, which can’t be a bad thing, but it reminded me that I’ve not actually finished the first game yet.

Sword & Poker

I'm winner!

So I started it up again and found myself on the twentieth floor. Took me several goes to complete it, but I’ve not had much trouble since then. I die when I get stingy with the recharge coins or due to plain bad luck, but I’ve spend a lot of money on upgrades and I’m doing okay.

It really is a lovely little game, if you don’t mind that it’s inevitably based on the random drawing of cards.
