I’ve never played this game. I was interested. Now I can’t because I don’t want to be reminded of loss every time I play it.
Trust me, Four Fingers is rare enough that you're not going to be seeing it every time you play.
Also, why not replace a bad memory with a good one?
Can you summarise the premise/gameplay? Every clip of gameplay ive seen is cards flying everywhere.
I thought it looked really complex when I first saw it, but you pick it up quick. Essentially, you play poker hands and score chips (the games name for points). You score enough to beat a 'blind' (the games name for levels) and then move on to the next one. The real fun of the game comes from the jokers you can use, which can modify how your score is calculated, pay out some money to spend between levels, or offer some other utility. There are a few secondary systems to think about when playing, but it is best to figure those out while playing.
