This is the one that sends the right messages when I am looking at seven books in Borders and can only afford one. Someone is going to show me the way to that chipstack; that box is mine, and I'm going to avoid those wrong turns that lead to empty. (Although, it might b nice if the cards in that box were AKs at least.)
The cards make both the model and the maze and speak to the way we have to negotiate every hand through every street. It's striking and speaks. The simple color scheme appeals to me, also.
I think the mistake with the font is about weight as much as being too busy. That card model is delicate, and the heavy title is off-balance and makes the structure seem fragile, which is not the message to be sent. I'd KISS the title font in a darker red or black or white and a lighter weight but same size font.
For a book cover, this is my #1 pick.
