Our blackjack roguelike game BLACK JACKET has secret interactions between the face cards. "The Queen's gift" allows you to boost the value of your king when placing the Queen next to him.
These were SO fun to make :)

🕹 Games are a cornerstone of the digital transformation with well-educated employees (80% academics) & a very young workforce (50% younger than 35 years) that tripled the yearly revenue in the past 5 years.

Looking forward to an exciting collaboration with the council!
