Thankfully, there are tables you can go to and practice (sort of), and earn a bit more money. Leaving it for even a day made me forget the complex rules of different types of shuffle or deck stacks, and when that happens you're bollocksed until you can find your feet again. Guess what? I was right! After playing it over a few days, and playing other things in between, it became clear that Card Shark requires 100% of your attention. I even said in my preview that Card Shark will be one of those games that it'll be hard to come back to after a couple of days doing other things. It's a lovely world to return to, but the problem is in the leaving and coming back. The little figures on screen are so emotive, despite being drawn in quite broad strokes, and they remind me of my favourite children's books even as they're cussing each other out or stabbing each other by candlelight. It is an immensely stylish game, like a cat walking the runway at Paris fashion week, and the 2D, illustrative style of art really sings. Perhaps the thing I love most about Card Shark is the style. As you gather information the complexity of tricks you must pull, and the stakes in all senses, climb higher and higher. You're actually trying to uncover a conspiracy about King Louis and his secret marriage (something which I understand historians generally agree happened even though there isn't much evidence for it, possibly because it is more fun) and each time you win you climb to a higher echelon of card table. We're in 18th century France, you see, within spitting distance of The Scarlet Pimpernel, and it turns out that winning money is only a small part of the point. It's all enhanced by the sort of inherently dashing setting for Card Shark.

You feel like the cleverest person in the room when you do it right, gradually raking over more and more money from the idiot aristocrat opposite you, and some of the tricks you learn are for how to win a swordfight, or flick a card on target to frame someone else. This is an excellent balancing act to pull off. Your job is to do each of these steps correctly, but quickly enough that your mark doesn't get suspicious.

But later on each technique - all with appreciably cheaty names like The Baby Shuffle or The Honeyed Flip Flop or whatever - has multiple steps involving card counting and memorising and a discrete series of control inputs.
At first you're pouring wine at the same time as checking an opponent's highest card, and memorising sneaky codes to indicate suit and value. He teaches you a number of tricks to win money from gamblers, each a kind of mini-game to build a favourable hand for the Comte. You (a mute French peasant boy) meet unscrupulous knave and cool ol' lad the Comte de Saint Germain, who quickly sizes you up as a natural card cheat. To play Card Shark, you don't even need to know how to play cards. The worst I can say about Card Shark is that it doesn't make failure fun.

When I previewed it I said that it turned out I was quite good at cheating, but now I have played the full build I can report that I'm bad at that, too.

Contestants could also choose to "freeze", thus making the last revealed card the new base card and preventing the opponent from receiving a free chance. In this event, the opponent received a free chance to play his/her own row of cards but could not change the base card. On an incorrect guess, the contestant loses his/her progress and returns to the base card with the other revealed cards being discarded and replaced by new face-down cards before the next question in the round. The contestant then guessed whether the next (face-down) card in the row was "higher" or "lower" if correct, he or she could continue to guess the next card after that and so on (if both cards were the same, the guess counted as incorrect). The winner of the question could choose to either play and keeping his/her base card, or have it replaced with another card from the top of the deck. Each contestant's base card was the first card in the row of five. Above each contestant's row of cards was a moving bracket bearing the contestant's name which would mark one of the cards as the "base card".
