if you a comic lover you're going to probably love this game but if you're someone like me it's going to be all right
the gang um it is poker on steroids now
it is not a co-op game it's a it's on the box contrary to what it's on the box contrary to what is written on the box TR they made a mistake it is not Co-op
we lost every time we played that thing what seven times
some people don't know how to build a poah hand
