Pine Tar Poker

Great mood and atmosphere. At first it might not seem like much, but there’s a hidden depth to this game, as evidenced by the fact that the endgame involves Lovecraftian imagery, cryptography, and an incredible amount of creativity. Everything about it was perfect to me. If you like Balatro, there is also a roguelite metagame here too. Enjoy! Explore! Well deserved praise. All hail Yog Sothoth

I really enjoyed this game. The cozy art style and the optional story that you can discover made it even more fun than the Yahtzee/Poker/magical stones combination alone. Was a little confused on some parts, but I think the vagueness adds to the game. Only thing I’m still not sure of is where the game truly ends. I purchased the final(?) item for 10000 but can’t figure out if there’s more to explore with it or not. Would love an answer for this. Keep up the good work!

Super fun and addictive roguelike that slowly reveals that it’s more than just plain rounds of poker.

What a great game! Love poker and this is a very fun and engaging challenge. Happened across it while browsing to scratch a Balatro itch. Love the art style, piecing together snippets of the world, figuring out how items work and playing round after round. Plus the music is good! Looking forward to additional content or follow-up games from this developer!

A great game that makes you think, but not too hard. I just assumed it to be a typical poker game, but it actually feels pretty unique. I would recommend better descriptions for some of the items like the pencil, because people like me who aren’t too familiar with card game strategies don’t really benefit from it. That being said, this is definitely worth the 3.99 I paid, and then some! Thanks to Jerma for introducing me to the game and the developers for the passion that went into making it great!

Helpful for teaching kids basic hands. Kids love it. Now they’re off to Texas Hold’em as well.

I don’t generally ever get addicted to what we lovingly refer to in my house as clicky games. PineTar poker was another story, I loved having to figure out the tarot cards riddles and also just the challenge of a unusual rules poker game. I even beat the boss / floating eye! But I had to read a few forum posts to do so. I bought everything including the broken rune stone for $10,000 but I have no idea how to activate it! Maybe there will be a hint for that soon. ;)

I wasted my money on this. Why are there so many high ratings? This has nothing to do w poker. This is Yahtzee but you have to pay for it. And it’s not better than Yahtzee.

Challenging and fun at the same time. I’m addicted!!!
