I'm not sure if this game somehow balances the cards in the background logic(I think it should). I feel like I played 30 hands, and maybe had some combination in 3-4 of them. This was an issue with the escalating blinds all the time.
I know against the first spider with mittens I only had a pair of jacks once, every other time I won was because both of us didn't have anything and I just had the high card.
I wish I was able to beat a monster so I could cheat more and experience the game fully. But this is a very nice game, it's very moody and the music adds a lot of atmosphere. The part of the story that I was able to experience is good as well and fits into the game making it an all-round very solid entry into this jam.
