On Card Sharks 2019: I generally liked it as well. It did feel a bit drawn out to me, with all the time between card turns especially in the main game, but I started to get used to that as the hour went on. Something that annoyed me was the timing of each “ding” during the first half-hour, indicating the call of “higher” or “lower” was correct. It sounded before the card was fully revealed! To me, it was more properly timed in the second half.
I’m fine with a duplicate card being a loss in Money Cards. It was the original rule, and indeed to me it makes sense with the higher payouts. (By the way, I thought the Money Card chips looked pretty cheap.)
Little things: Was it just me or did the clubs and spades look blue instead of black? Why a gold background on the Money Cards? Why the “load and turn” reveals in that round instead of the traditional flip? And did you notice the obvious edits between wagers? One second the chips are arranged this, and the next another.
(double bonus for keeping the original theme, updated for the present).
I was hoping for the actual, original theme, but the 2019 version sounds quite similar. I still like.
