Card Shark tips, tricks and a new game by our studio

[h2]Card Shark Tips and Tricks[/h2]

We know that Card Shark can be difficult. The deck manipulation puzzles get particularly complex at the end of the game, sometimes requiring many steps of memorization and a robust understanding of certain card tricks.

That's why we included a number of features in the Pause Menu to help struggling players progress if they get stuck. We're aware that some of these options aren't very obvious so our Devolver friend, Jean-Michel, created this video! It showcases a number of tips that you can use if you are not able to move forward or want a more relaxed experience.

  1. You can practice as long as you want before tackling a trick at a real table
  2. The Pause Menu contains your current objective and a list of controls from previous tricks
  3. You can change the difficulty which primarily changes how fast suspicion builds
  4. Turning Hints ON will show cards that you need to memorize


[h2]A New Game by our Studio[/h2]

Before Card Shark, our studio was founded out of the Reigns series of narrative strategy games. After some bad luck on other projects, Francois (the original @Nerial himself and lead writer of Card Shark), developed the first Reigns game in 2016.

It was a simple but very clever concept, described as Tinder x Game of Thrones. As a kingdom's ruler, advisors come to you with their problems. Swipe right to accept or swipe left to reject. Each decision may impact the 4 stats which represent your areas of influence. If any of those 4 get too high or too low, you'll die a gruesome death. The peasants become too prosperous? They don't need your leadership anymore. Your military is too weak? Warring kingdoms will have your head.

But death isn't the end. Your consciousness is transported into the next heir so that you can continue your reign. You'll need that time to uncover the mystery behind your newfound immortality.

Multiple instalments and an official Game of Thrones game later, we have just released Reigns: Three Kingdoms, the most ambitious version yet. Based on the beloved epic, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it doesn't just have the most story, it also has an entire deck-building card battle minigame with online multiplayer duels.

It's currently available on Android and iOS for Netflix subscribers HERE.

The original Reigns and two sequels are available on Steam for just a few dollars each!
