Not a fan of poker (I don't hate it but I haven't gotten into it either) and I don't know how to play it, but the gameplay was really . . . relaxing?
The monotony of dealing the cards and helping your friend was very calming. I like the atmosphere even if it was nothing special.
Cool game

I like poker and it was quite an interesting game for me. To play the role of a dealer, but sometimes it was difficult to remember which cards and to whom I give, but it was fun =)
Pretty cool game. I liked the sfx and music. The visuals were pretty nice too!
The mechanics in your game are innovative and unique! They contain simple actions but can cause different consequences—quite enjoyable!
I can also imagine you adding more features to create deeper strategies in the game.
That was very fun and unique! I really like the perspective of the game how you are the dealer and you have to cheat without being too suspicious. The cards up the sleeve was also a really nice touch. Would love to see this game expanded in the future!
Very fun! Probably played it longer than most other submissions. But i also love poker. Wasnt quite sure what made suspicion go up or down. Almost seemed random but I really enjoyed this. You should make a complete game outta this idea and release on steam. Or mobile!
This was such an interesting twist on poker! I would love a full expanded game of this!
I'm not a great Poker player but I played "Balatro" a lot which is a game inspired by poker. I love the idea of trying to cheat at poker game by having to remember the card. My personal memory capacity is a total failure but I won some tokens! I'll show it to a friend tomorrow that is a big poker fan :) Congrats, keep up the good work!
Really cool fun game, but maybe a bit too long. Also I got my guy a straight flush.
Fun game! Would have liked more "cheat" mechanics, but overall a great job!
Lucky for me, I played Balatro recently so I wasn't so lost with the poker rules haha. Great game, it was a good mix of RNG and strategy and felt very polished.
Great idea for a game! Really fun experience.

Sadly not for my accomplice, because I was more helping person to the left than him...
At first I didn't understand, but then I understood and I liked it!
Good card game, I was pleasantly surprised, congratulations
It seemed a bit confusing when reading the tutorial, but when I started playing it was a very organic and understandable gameplay. Very nice game, love the theme!
This was a very interesting take on the theme! It took a little while to get used to but once I got the hang of things I found it quite fun to try and strategise while keeping what I had dealt in my head. Unfortunately it froze for me a couple times before dealing the table cards which was a little annoying, but I still enjoyed it a lot regardless.
