"Fantastic gameplay can take you to wild places and whoever was skeptical of this game before playing it will quickly be converted. Funny, fun and frenetic, Pocket Card Jockey is a charmer that never lets up. Combining elements of “Pokemon,” “Monster Rancher” and Solitaire, it’s a game that will steal you away from your next generation console." ... Read full review

"Like any horse race, your success in Pocket Card Jockey relies on luck -- a little too heavily for some players, maybe. Nevertheless, once the game sinks its big, horsey teeth into you, it won't let go for a long time." ... Read full review

It's rare to see a game as ambitious as something like this game AND succeed at the same time, but Pocket Card Jockey nails it. The game isIt's rare to see a game as ambitious as something like this game AND succeed at the same time, but Pocket Card Jockey nails it. The game is unique, refreshing, and feverishly addicting. Heck, I don't even like solitaire that much yet I've found myself loving this game and playing it constantly. Once I finish writing this review, I'll probably be playing it some more.… Expand

This is addictive. I need to keep my self control; I felt like snapping my 3DS pen, and I jabbed at the screen a couple of times. However,This is addictive. I need to keep my self control; I felt like snapping my 3DS pen, and I jabbed at the screen a couple of times. However, like an authentic gambling addict, when I'm winning I love this! My partner also loves the idea that we can share and breed horses, we have not done that yet but it seems cute. To me this game is a 9 or a 10. I went with 9 because of the chance I might break my 3DS at some point in the near future.

Finally I feel like the price point for this game is tipped in the consumers favour for once.… Expand
