'Our adversaries tonight? An unscrupulous group of scoundrels and rogues, rumoured to possess an unlimited fund between them. If we stick to the strategies you’ve learnt, this will be a walkover.' - Comte de Saint-Germain Card Shark is an adventure game full of cunning, intrigue, and delectable deceit. Enter a world where you’ll need to play your opponents better than you play your cards. LEARN AND MASTER NEW TRICKS Cheat your way to the top of 18th-century French society. Master deceptions using card marking, false shuffles, deck switching, false deals, and more! Use your ill-gotten gains to buy your way into the closed world of high-stakes tables. UNCOVER A CONSPIRACY ... as you climb from local card parlors to the King's table. A word of advice: Don't get caught. Your fellow gamblers do not take kindly to cheats… TRAVEL THROUGH 18TH CENTURY FRANCE Discover small towns, remote mansions, and luxurious lounges imagined by Nerial team (Reigns) game creator Arnaud De Bock (Pikuniku). Immerse yourself in the ornate visual artwork of Nicolai Troshinsky. Have your every move accompanied by an original score from Andrea Boccadoro as interpreted by an orchestra. 

Press reviews: “Card Shark is unlike any game you’ve played before.” 9.5/10 – Gaming Trend “An enrapturing tale of card trickery and conspiracy” 9/10 – TheSixthAxis “Card Shark blends its ingredients together with a confidence that befits the Comte de Saint Germain himself. Its story has satirical bite, while its colours exude artistry and gross flamboyance. The card games, meanwhile, are exciting, humorous and highly varied, with a level of pressure that ensures you can’t drop your focus. A full house.” 5/5 – NME
