i personally can't stand card games, of any kind. i've played maybe a dozen hands of solitaire in my life, and that's about all i can handle for the rest of my life. i just don't get the fascination with them. whether traditional or these newer game versions (paper or electronic). but to each their own.

Looking good

Come on guys, finish the game first and then you can mess around with this peripheral crap!

Indeed, let's see a game first before thinking of merchandising.
