The creators of the Pokémon franchise, Game Freak, will launch its unique solitaire and horse-racing hybrid game, Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On!, on Apple Arcade this January.
Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On! provides the Nintendo 3DS Pocket Card Jockey with a stunning 3D revamp. In both games, the player will take full control of a jockey, who may be either male or female. The male jockey aspires to one day take over his father’s orange farm, while the female jockey aspires to marry and have a family. The jockey loses the first round and is trampled, prompting an angel to descend and support them while teaching them to perceive horse racing as a solitaire card game.
Here are some of the other main features of Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On!, as posted on the game’s App Store page:
- Solitaire as Simple as Can Be!
- 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!
- Mind Your Positioning While Racing!
- Your position on the track determines the difficulty of your solitaire rounds. There are also special cards that can be picked up if you run over them while racing. These cards provide a variety of benefits, including leveling up your horse, learning new skills, or improving your performance in a race. Be careful though, because running too much on the outside of the track will cause your horse to lose precious stamina!
- Go For Broke in the Homestretch!
- If your steed has charged tons of energy and has plenty of stamina left in the tank, they’ll sprint its heart out once you enter the homestretch. Make sure not to run into other horses as you aim for first place!
- Entrust Difficult Races to Future Generations!
- Take the beloved steeds you’ve grown on the racetrack and pair them up on the farm. The foal they produce will inherit their abilities and become your new partner on the racecourse! Breed generation after generation of racehorses in your quest to conquer all the biggest, most prestigious races in the world!
Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On! will be available on the Apple Arcade on January 20th and will be compatible with iOS 13 and above.
