Thank you very much for your explicit feedback, krisslanza!
Yes, this is a mini-game that is meant to be played during the lunch break or at home because it's very short. We have considered extending the story, but it wouldn't make sense as the game mechanics are not designed for a basic 2 player poker game.
We regret that the mini-game seems bland and boring to you but appreciate your honest critique!
(We'll try harder next time :))
Regards
Dan & Tom
