Cool game, really didn't expect a poker game but I guess the cards were in the tile sheet, so I should have :) The transition when the poker game starts made me laugh, fun idea to make it feel like a pokemon duel. I don't know too much about poker to comment on the AI, but I encountered a game breaking bug when the skelly folds in the first round. Chelly gets the payout, but the rounds continue and after the last card is revealed the game is stuck.
But overall it was highly engaging and had a fun story. Great job
