The core game consists of races, which involves playing a few rounds of a solitaire-like game, interspersed with short sections where you have to draw lines to indicate how you want to position your horse. There are a lot of systems to contend with here, and so it definitely takes some time to learn the ins and outs of how everything works. I've been playing the game off and on for a while. I became a little more interested in it after hearing how much the hosts of Nintendo Minute played it, so I decided to give it a go. I'd enjoyed their previously released non-Pokemon game HarmoKnight but I wasn't sure how much I would enjoy this game, a strange mash-up of horse racing and solitaire, mostly because I'm not the biggest fan of solitaire.

I'd been rather intrigued by Pocket Card Jockey for several reasons, not least of which was that it was by Game Freak, best known for their Pokemon games.
