Game Freak may be best known as the developers of Pokemon, but in an early 2023 surprise, one of the studio's few non-Pokemon games is getting a refreshed new release for Apple devices. Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On!, a remake of the 3DS title Pocket Card Jockey, is coming to iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV via Apple Arcade on January 20th.
Pocket Card Jockey is a solitaire and horse-racing hybrid," Game Freak writes on the game's App Store listing. Focus your mind and clear cards with subsequent numbers in quick succession. The more cards you clear, the better your horse's mood will be-which helps them charge energy during races!"
I'll admit that I've never played the original, and I don't completely get it even after watching a video...
