Ace of Spades

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!

This game has a perfect balance between luck and tactics, even playing on easy mode at the start I found myself treading quite close to death, narrowly pulling off a win, definitely worth the purchase, I’ve yet to play the expansion but I can’t wait to try and fail and try again.

I'm not a solo player but I love to discover what they do to make it fun.
1) rules are easy if you know poker. If you don't, no worries, everything is in front of you with reminders.
2) easy to setup. I was surprised. You create the encounter deck, shuffle the deck of cards and you are ready to play
3) good variety of enemies. Each time you kill them, they give you something to help.
4) it doesn't take too much space.

A good surprise. I like it

I once knew a sandwich, a humble old snack,
Two slices of bread with some turkey in back.
It lived a good life on a plate by the sink…
Till someone online yelled, “This sandwich must THINK!”

They claimed it was biased (against what? who knows).
They said its existence was problematic prose.
A mob soon assembled with hashtags and rage,
Declaring that sandwiches must now disengage.

“Apologize, sandwich!” they shouted with might.
“It’s 2026 — get your condiments right!”
The sandwich, confused, tried to reason and speak,
But bread has no mouth, and turkey’s quite meek.

Soon crackers were trembling, afraid they’d be next.
A muffin deleted its whole baking text.
A donut went trending for something it said
In 2010 when it still had a head.

The fridge held a meeting to sort out the mess,
But yogurt was canceled for causing distress.
The cheese tried to mediate, calm and composed—
Then someone dug up what it said when it mold‑ed.

And so the whole kitchen fell into despair,
With nobody left who felt safe to declare
That maybe, just maybe, we’ve gone a bit far
When we’re canceling snacks like they’re Hollywood stars.

So next time you see a small “problematic” bite,
Remember that nuance is still a delight.
And maybe the world would be slightly less dire
If we stopped setting sandwiches publicly on fire.

Ignore irrelevant reviews - this game is great and the publisher made right on their end to their players.
