    A fun concept which could've been executed a bit better. The random elements feel excessive, and really drag down the experience. With that said, the game did keep me coming back in spite of the various detractors.

    Pocket Card Jockey may have a strange concept but the way it's implemented is certain to leave players holding to their 3DS for a very long time. Its originality, comical plot and artwork will capture the players' attention and its structure will make it seem like a perfect game for short sessions, which will eventually grow into very long sessions as the player goes back and forth between horse racing and Solitary games, with the development of the horse's characteristics in between.
