Pine Tar Poker App Reviews

What a great game! Love poker and this is a very fun and engaging challenge. Happened across it while browsing to scratch a Balatro itch. Love the art style, piecing together snippets of the world, figuring out how items work and playing round after round. Plus the music is good! Looking forward to additional content or follow-up games from this developer!

Super fun and addictive roguelike that slowly reveals that it’s more than just plain rounds of poker.

I really enjoyed this game. The cozy art style and the optional story that you can discover made it even more fun than the Yahtzee/Poker/magical stones combination alone. Was a little confused on some parts, but I think the vagueness adds to the game. Only thing I’m still not sure of is where the game truly ends. I purchased the final(?) item for 10000 but can’t figure out if there’s more to explore with it or not. Would love an answer for this. Keep up the good work!

Great mood and atmosphere. At first it might not seem like much, but there’s a hidden depth to this game, as evidenced by the fact that the endgame involves Lovecraftian imagery, cryptography, and an incredible amount of creativity. Everything about it was perfect to me. If you like Balatro, there is also a roguelite metagame here too. Enjoy! Explore! Well deserved praise. All hail Yog Sothoth

I'm really enjoying it. It's very polished, the music is great and the card animations. It hits my Yahtzee and balatro itch, but without being as time consuming to get through a whole game as the second. Hope it gets more attention.

Fun love the aesthetic but maybe you could add scratch offs or somehow dice and roulette. Summary is I love gamboling and I need more

Great game with a high pace to learn poker. Enjoyed the game and will be playing and sharing with friends.

What a well made and entertaining card game, please continue to update and support this gem, thank you !

This game has been so much fun. It’s easy to get started, but the well gets deeper the farther down you sink. The core mechanic is Yahtzee but with a deck of cards. You will need to get some unlock-ables with in-game gold to get some of the rarer hand types. But the game goes much further still.

The game is simple enough. In fact, it introduced me to a variant of poker I can play solo when I camp and don’t want screen time. The game is nice as a quick pass time I can play in a waiting room and swipe away from and come back to whenever. Won’t drain my battery. Doesn’t collect inappropriate data (Thank you!). The old western aesthetic, especially for the cards, is a nice change. If I had to pick something as a con: the music does get repetitive. It’s easy enough to turn that off and

The game is set in a bar, creating the feeling that playing cards is also a chance to chat with old friends. It brought me comfort in my loneliness. The tarot and other related mechanics are well designed as well. There are two shortcomings, though: first, there is no cloud save feature; second, the story is too short.

The best and worst thing about a game like this is that there is an end. It gives the experience closure, but I still want more. It’s a real treat, and I can’t wait until enough time passes where a replay feels fresh again.

Definitely a relaxing and interesting poker game, good for learning the game or just obsessively trying to complete all the hand variants in each round. I enjoy that there are a couple “outs” in each round as you work on getting all the hands. A fun game with lots of replay value.

But you can’t say no to this game. No IAP, very interesting game very well done is literally a perfect game. Need to see more like this. I will buy your next one.

A great game that makes you think, but not too hard. I just assumed it to be a typical poker game, but it actually feels pretty unique. I would recommend better descriptions for some of the items like the pencil, because people like me who aren’t too familiar with card game strategies don’t really benefit from it. That being said, this is definitely worth the 3.99 I paid, and then some! Thanks to Jerma for introducing me to the game and the developers for the passion that went into making it gre

Helpful for teaching kids basic hands. Kids love it. Now they’re off to Texas Hold’em as well.

Challenging and fun at the same time. I’m addicted!!!

I don’t generally ever get addicted to what we lovingly refer to in my house as clicky games. PineTar poker was another story, I loved having to figure out the tarot cards riddles and also just the challenge of a unusual rules poker game. I even beat the boss / floating eye! But I had to read a few forum posts to do so. I bought everything including the broken rune stone for $10,000 but I have no idea how to activate it! Maybe there will be a hint for that soon. ;)

I don't usually play card games but this one is so unique! I found out about it on HN. I really like the design and supernatural elements. I'm stuck after the second fortune but hopefully will figure it out.

Excellent game with lots of mysteries in the power-ups that you earn & buy!

Fun game, however concerned with the heat generation…

This game is really great and slowly reveals items along the storyline to keep you interested. I’ve played this since the public beta and highly recommend to everyone!

I like cheating at poker. Story is neat.
