For the most part our focus is generally iOS and Android with the occasional PC release. This week, I present and exception. Pocket Card Jockey is for 3DS, yes that fancy paperweight that was all the rage a few years back.Pocket Card Jockey is small game from the makers of Pokemon, Game Freak, and it has managed to get its claws into me, deep.
You play an extremely incompetent Jockey who is trampled to death in your first race. You are brought back to life under the condition that you fulfill you dream to be an amazing jockey. The angel who brings you back also allows you play solitaire instead of actually horse racing, since you are just so terrible at it. I am not sure I am doing this game justice above, and I just broke my arm so typing this is actually a bit painful. I’ll try to wrap up. This game has grabbed me the way Card Crawl did a few months back.

It takes card game mechanics and melds them perfectly into a video game wrapper.If you have access to a 3DS or 2DS I highly recommend this game. It is screaming for a mobile release (like it received in Japan), so let’s hope that comes. If you don’t have the device, the 2DS just got a very cheap and there is enough software to keep a strategy gamer busy for a long time. Thanks for letting me share this quirky obsession of mine.
