WTMG's Heidi Hawes: "Playing Card Shark feels like peeking behind the curtain of a magic show. The gameplay might involve following button prompts, but the lessons are genuine. After playing it I feel like I could use some of the skills I learned on my friends the next time we have a poker night. Uh… not that I would, of course! I have to commend Nerial for coming up with such a unique idea for a game. The concept of playing cards through the lens of a con artist is original and enticing. Card Shark is a game that’s full of surprises, from its gameplay to its story woven with political intrigue and unforeseen twists. The cards are on the table, Card Shark is a game you simply can’t pass up."
