We have brought together all sorts of ruffians, scoundrels and hooligans because a great opportunity has reached our midst. In Card Shark, you'll take the least ethical path to achieve wealth, fame and status by cheating your way up the aristocracy.

But that path is also a dangerous one. The risks you take can leave you in worse shape than your humble beginnings or even take your life if you are not careful.



From all of us at Nerial, we want to thank you sincerely for joining us on this journey to launch. Making a game is like manipulating a deck. Managing and fine-tuning each step to bring wonder out of what appears to be random chance.

We believe we have created a unique and artful experience. To be completely honest, this isn't the type of game that typically performs very well on Steam. However, if you do enjoy our game, we hope that you'll leave a positive review! It really helps us continue to make games that reimagine real life in surprising ways.

So as you start this new adventure of delectable deceit, we hope you will have fun, learn something new and cheat your opponents' pockets dry.

Our lead artist, Nicolai Troshinsky, performs card tricks in real life. In this series, he teaches some of the easiest techniques to perform so that you can always have the upper hand at the table. Every trick in Card Shark is derived from genuine cheaters and these videos modernize them! Did you ever think to use your phone as a secret mirror? It's the perfect place to start if you want to get your cheating career off the ground in real life.

The Card Shark soundtrack is stunning thanks to the arrangements by Andrea Boccadoro and the live orchestra, recorded at Air Studios in London. Andrea composed original scores and rearranged period pieces to set the tones of the 18th century. My favourite example of reimagining source material appears later in the game, when you'll meet Chevalier de St Georges. He was both a master (fencing) duelist and musical composer. His theme in the game is rearranged from music he actually wrote in the 1700s!

You can also see Andrea in the video wearing the dark t-shirt at 1:35!
