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.
