Blackjack with a twist, this game has you taking on the role of a secret agent, assailing a train car full traps, mooks, and twists that exist to complicate the nature of your mission.
If you've ever played blackjack, you already understand the bulk of how this game will work. However, the twists that you find along the way are what really makes this game a must, even if you only play it once. The type of situations you can get into change depending on the cards you add to your hand, which can be anything from a hermetically sealed train car that floods with water, mobsters, seductive sirens, and more.
The visuals really help to sell both the game's roots and I especially liked the cover. All the text is organized and clear to read and all the information you need to know is properly conveyed to the reader, with proper emphasis given to the terms that required it. The only flaw that I could honestly note was that some of text within the tables could've been centered, but it isn't enough to really affect the visuals in a substantial way.
Overall, pretty good game. Would highly recommend to those who enjoy playing blackjack or those who would like to have another singleplayer option for their playing cards that isn't just solitaire.
I like it!
