There's a good card game here, it's just buried under a ridiculously unfriendly interface.

Tekken Card Tournament Review

+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad
By Rob Rich on April 4th, 2013
Our rating: starstarstarblankstarblankstar :: SUCKER PUNCH
It's tragically funny when a concept that shouldn't work actually does, but ends up not being any fun thanks to a punishing IAP economy.

Order & Chaos Duels Review

+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad
By Rob Rich on March 21st, 2013
Our rating: starstarstarstarblankstar :: ANGRY CARDS
Order & Chaos Duels is a beautiful and fun strategic card game at its core, but the solo campaign is horribly unbalanced.

Immortalis Review

iPhone App - Designed for iPhone, compatible with iPad
By Rob Rich on January 24th, 2013
Our rating: starstarstarstarblankstar :: PUTS THE "I" IN "TEAM"
Immortalis does a few things differently and the rest pretty much the same, but none of that gets in the way of having a good time.

By Rob Rich on December 18th, 2012
Our rating: starstarstarstarblankstar :: FLATT
This digital rendition of an absurd party card game is missing some of the magic, but it's still a pretty good time.

Solitaire Kingdom Supreme Review

iPhone App - Designed for iPhone, compatible with iPad
By Rob Rich on December 10th, 2012
Our rating: starstarstarstarblankstar :: SUPREMELY SUPERB
Apparently combining familiar classics with loads of unlockables and all sorts of wacky and interesting modifications is just funkitron's "thing."

Blackjack King Review

+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad
By Rob Rich on August 27th, 2012
Our rating: starstarstarhalfstarblankstar :: KIND OF A BUST
Blackjack King represents the game well, but it doesn't quite live up to its noble title.

Hearts Tournament Makes Cards Social Again

Posted by Rob Rich on April 16th, 2012
+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad

Now, I've never been a huge card game enthusiast. That is to say, the kind of card games that use playing cards. Because of this, I have absolutely no idea how to play Hearts. I am a fan of turn-based multiplayer iOS games, however. Seeing as there are a good deal of iOS users who have similar tastes in their multiplayer, and a good deal of people who actually do know how to play Hearts, this seems like a kind of natural progression.

Hearts Tournament from Trivial Technology was designed to juggle multiple games simultaneously. Up to 30 in fact. Best of all, players can mess around with their own single player games while waiting for their friends or random opponents to take their own turns. Along with all the card-slinging goodness are leaderboards to dominate and challenges to complete in order to earn special items, achievements, and more.

Hearts Tournament is available on the App Store now for $0.99. Hearts fans should feel free to dive right in and start juggling dozens of games immediately.

By Rob Rich on January 26th, 2012
Our rating: starstarstarstarblankstar :: COST PROHIBITIVE
Pyramid ♠ Solitaire fills the solo-play card game void nicely, but it might be hard for enthusiasts to get past the sticker shock.

iPad App Preview: IsoCards - a different kind of card "game"

Posted by Jeff Scott on March 29th, 2010

IsoCards isn't really a card game. It's every card game. Or any card game. It's really just a virtual deck of cards, you can do with them what you please. There are no rules, you just have access to a deck of cards anywhere you wish. Well, anywhere your iPad is.

You can deal them, shuffle them, throw them around, etc. Seems simple, but there are some really interesting features to this iPad app. When dealing the cards, they can be dealt face down. You can then cup your hand over your dealt cards to view them. Coming in version 1.1 is an even more interesting way to keep your cards private. In the next release you will be able to connect your iPhone or iPod Touch to IsoCards via Wifi/Bluetooth and then view and interact with your cards on your handheld device.

And interesting interaction that we've heard other developers talk about -- using the iPad as a common interface and using the iPhone as a single user controller. We'll be interested to see what other applications of this come about.
