I understand not every game resonates with everyone, but please explain reviews like this to me. This is for Sea Salt & Paper, a card game. Was the expectation that he'd be allowed to take the cards he wanted every hand? Imagine discovering luck exists in board games. Poker players, you've been going about it all wrong.

@molotovcockatiel But with poker you're not actually playing the cards you draw. The whole point of poker is the bluffing. Even in Blackjack you have the decision to hit or not. If I roll a die five times and you roll a die five times and I win because I rolled higher numbers, that's not a game. If there's some other activity around those rolls and the numbers are used for different things, that's a game. Game design has to balance being able to do things and just blind rolling to win.
@golgaloth You've turned his statement into something else. His complaint is that this CARD GAME makes you "pray you get the cards you need" and that it involves luck. 99.999% of card games do and none of the decisions in poker matter if you never get decent cards (your bluffing will eventually run dry). To complain that this game...the box contains only cards...involves luck and to give it a 1 because of it, is, to me, an absurd statement of a confused person.

@golgaloth You can't win at poker if you don't "get the cards you need". You can't win at blackjack if you don't "get the cards you need".

Also I haven't mentioned it yet, but this game actually does have a lot of decision points so even there his review falls short.
