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.

'Quick Time Event: The Game'. This is a very fun game if you're into pre-revolutionary France and like a game a little fast-paced but still comfortable. Puts you in the position of a card cheat and every round becomes

I enjoyed this game but struggeled a bit. It's a puzzle game with a time limit/stress factor. Nice graphics and setting, the short story is also nice but not very realistic. You don't need any experience with card games

I really, really liked Card Shark! I love games based on the player's growing knowledge and I think the way the game challenges you on memory and clever thinking was really satisfying! The feeling of having done so many

It is a shame. I really do like this game, it is very fun, but there are too many bugs for me to recommend it. I currently cannot make any progress in my save because of a softlock (which happens very often); only this

A gameplay you almost never see, in a place and time you almost never see, with an art you almost never see. It's original, and incredibly good !

I love cards, I love slight of hand, I love magic tricks. This game has all that, however, it's extremely difficult and not in a fun way. The timer is unforgiving and forces you to play fast, which is fine but it
