If you know nothing about poker is it still dope like it teaches you etc.?
Yeah, you can definitely have fun with even without any poker knowledge. The game uses poker more as a bridge to get into the game as opposed to a hard set rule. There are so many ways to build up your deck and so many strategies that you can truly forget about poker a lot of the time.

The poker aspect might be the smallest part of the game honestly. The jokers, power ups and manipulating your playing cards are the big thing and the poker hands are just a means to start accumulating chips.

Still haven't unlocked all the jokers and I have over 200 hrs across 4 platforms.

I know I need to discard 5 jacks or play 5 gold cards but I get caught up and start playing to win :mjlol:

Love this game brehs. I first played this while sitting in the terminal waiting to catch a flight at like 5am and almost missed boarding because I was so locked in.

I usually get a run or two in at work when im bored. These challenges are fun too.
