How it feels
A tense, hand-drawn game of cunning and deception where you must master card-cheating tricks to outwit opponents in 18th-century France.

What players say
Players praise the beautiful art and intriguing story, but many find the gameplay repetitive, centered on memory-based minigames. The timer is unforgiving from the start, and the game lacks replay value once tricks are learned. Some report bugs and controller issues, especially with painting.
