Description
"Our adversaries tonight? An unscrupulous group of scoundrels and rogues, rumoured to possess an unlimited fund between them. If we stick to the strategies you’ve learnt, this will be a walkover." - Comte de Saint-Germain
Card Shark is an adventure game full of cunning, intrigue, and delectable deceit. Enter a world where you’ll need to play your opponents better than you play your cards.
LEARN AND MASTER NEW TRICKS
Cheat your way to the top of 18th-century French society. Master deceptions using card marking, false shuffles, deck switching, false deals, and more! Use your ill-gotten gains to buy your way into the closed world of high-stakes tables.
UNCOVER A CONSPIRACY
... as you climb from local card parlors to the King's table. A word of advice: Don't get caught. Your fellow gamblers do not take kindly to cheats…
TRAVEL THROUGH 18TH CENTURY FRANCE
Discover small towns, remote mansions, and luxurious lounges imagined by Nerial team (Reigns) game creator Arnaud De Bock (Pikuniku). Immerse yourself in the ornate visual artwork of Nicolai Troshinsky. Have your every move accompanied by an original score from Andrea Boccadoro as interpreted by an orchestra.

A recommend, with caveats. This is in fact a very delightful game of REAL sleight-of-hand card tricks, and I think a lot of the joy you get from this game will depend on how much you geek out at pulling these off. The

Yes, this game fully focuses on the art of cheating in a card game, and it's actually pretty nice. But personally for me, Card Shark is not really a card game, but more of an interaction game. For every trick you learn
