[b]puzzle poker[/b] is by same guy who made [b]the incredible machine[/b], but this is just a simple card/matching game. a bunch of cards are laid out, you can move both rows and columns to create the best possible poker hands and don't even have to let go of the mouse button to change directions, which is nice. what's more, cards don't have to be in sequence, so 3 queens anywhere in a row or column will count as a three of a kind. [b]4 game modes are available, though it's really just 2 with some difficulty options.[/b] [u]chips mania[/u] is essentially a [b]fast-paced matching game[/b] and annoying not only because of the timer but all the chips flying around noisily when you make a hand and cards are replaced by new ones. [b]an untimed version would've been a great addition[/b], as well as a toggle to remove the chips. in [u]casual game[/u], still with a timer and a tutorial, cards don't disappear. instead, you have 5 boards (turns, if you will) to organize cards in a fashion that...

If you look hard enough on Steam, you can always find a hidden gems. Puzzle Poker is one such gem. It is like video poker. You try matching cards in order to get flushes, 4 of a kind, full house, etc. Not being much of a poker player, I found this game very addictive and easy to learn. Good graphics, music is ok, and loads of fun. 10/10.

Sliding cards across the table forming hands of Poker. Fairly simple until trying to fit the last card against a perfect combination. Few modes to play with, scores to obtain or beat. Was fun at first, gradually dull, boring repetitive. Chasing achievements, all else are possible by grinding a thousand hands or a Million chips ' until ' the ridiculous 8 K hand achievement. Despite 66 hrs and over 3000 hands of games, The odds of a natural hand of two Royal Flushes, accompanied by two three Four of a Kinds are basically impossible or close to 0%. Could be rolling hands for my remaining thirty years and still might not happen. 2.2% of achievers have the achievement, like real as ' noone ' in the Casual, Challenge and Unlimited Mode Leaderboard even crossed 8K. Another game to stain my list of Completed games. Not Recommending due to accumulated fustrations and failure to deliver a completed game.

This is a mild recommendation in the game's current state. The good: Like all of the best card games, this is a fun, budget-priced time waster with a simple but clever mechanic. You scroll a 5x5 board of playing cards horizontally and vertically to try and make the best possible poker hands. You get an individual score for each row and column. There are two timed modes (Casual, Challenging) where you get a set number of boards to obtain a goal score with that goal getting higher with each level. There's an untimed mode that works the same way but without a time limit (helps you learn the tricks for achieving higher scores) and a "Mania" mode which is timed and auto-scores the board as larger point values are accrued. The game has global leaderboards for each mode, The bad: Very barebones in regards to options. Not expecting FoV sliders or 4k textures or anything in a $3 card game but the current options menu is Windowed/Full-Screen and two audio sliders (to get rid of the monotonous...

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could pla...

Puzzle Poker is a mobile/Flash like card matching game. The premise is fairly novel, as you make poker hands by dragging columns of cards around to make them match as best you can, then hit "cash in" to collect chips based on the values of the hands you create. It seems like an okay premise for a mobile app or a browser game, but it's unclear why this is on Steam. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. The game features mostly static, barely animated 2D images, the kind of thing you expect to see in browser/flash games. While the artwork itself, while mediocre, might be considered passable, the visual presentation here is negligible, it might...

When you play the game for a certain period of time, you understand its logic and teaches the game is not a waste of time.

Nice way to kill some free time
