Dead Man's Draw by Stardock ($1.99, 41.3 MB): Nearly everyone in the family can have fun with this easy to pick and quick play card game. Like Blackjack, matches consist of two players riskily drawing cards from a single deck to earn the highest score. However, there's no point ceiling, rounds are failed by drawing two of the same suit, and a match is complete when the deck has been depleted. As for the suits, the specialized deck includes cannons, swords, scrolls, treasure chests, anchors, and more, each having their own advantage swinging power. For example, once unlocked, the sword allows stabbing and stealing an opponent's card, adding its value to your pile. The game features 2.5-D graphics, strong instrumental soundtrack, beyond 40 tournament-style single player levels, nine character appearances and several power-ups to earn, plus Game Center achievements.
