Wouldn't a deck of cards be cheaper and more portable?  Oh, I guess you'd need to carry chips around too: sold.

    I might actually pick this up... the DS is the only system outside of the PC that I think is really fit for card games, thanks to the touch screen.  I noticed it said up to 6 players wirelessly, which is awesome, but does anyone know if that's single cart wireless play or not? That would be a huge selling point for me.

    If it is single cart I might get this game...though I really don't know 6 people that have a DS.  I really like Poker though, and any practice is good.  I will wait for a review to tell me how good it is first.

    That's a good call, I'll wait for the Review, It might not get that high, but still I'll look into it, for car trips and all that.

    Ultimate Card Games will probably kill it.  That'll be online and it's coming in June.
