THE Card: Poker, Texas hold 'em, Blackjack and Page One (Switch eShop)

The Card unlocked for me today and I have had some time to play it. The game is made by D3Publisher which is a Japanese company that also published the Billiards game on the Switch.

As I was desperate for a good card game with Texas Holdem I had to get this game. The best way I can describe the interface of this game is "utilitarian". It is functional but somewhat bland. Most importantly it has a full touch interface so you are not limited to using the controller.

The menus and controls are shown on the screen. There are no fancy player icons or graphics for each player. Competing AI players are marked "Com1", "Com2", etc. Thankfully the card graphics are crisp and clear which is what matters most for me.

I am giving this an 8/10. As a card game it is great for travelling and even though the UI is bland it works. It doesn't try to throw some fancy "story" mode at the player like the "Vegas Party" game (which does not use touch screen!) but instead gives the player a solid set of card games.

Hopefully D3Publisher's other game "The Mahjong" is released for the western market as the Switch desperately needs more of these types of board games.

@Anorax can you play a full round or is it always only 5 turns?
