For the price, this game is a no brainer. An excellent solo game with easy setup. The normal difficulty means you have to lay 5 cards for each poker hand. Even if you are only using a pair. For easy difficulty, you would only need to lay the pair and can keep the other 3 cards. A great way to adjust difficulty. That's one thing to note about this game. It is a challenge. A lot has to go right for you to get the victory.
I haven't tried the cooperative mode, which is just having a few community cards to make poker hands. But for the solo experience, just buy it, it's great!
