My only gripe is some of the boss mechanics - namely the one that debuffs all the cards you've played previously, and the one the deals your cards face down.
I know if you're smart you can probably spend a bit a bit of time and figure out how to beat them, but in a game like this I just prefer to play fast and loose!
Part of the challenge is navigating the blinds, especially ones that throw a real wrench in the deck you're playing. For the two you mention, obviously the debuff one requires you to try to get through the small and big blinds with as few hands played as possible to minimize the number of debuffed cards, and also to probably play some non-premium cards to save the best for last.
One trick for the face-down mechanic - the cards are still in the correct order, and when you sort by rank or suit they will sort correctly. So, you can make some reasonable inferences about what the face-down cards are, and sometimes you can straight upfigure out what the cards are.
