Pokémon creators’ brilliant mashup of horse racing and solitaire is coming to iPhone (Apple Arcade)

TL;DR

Arriving at your desk to discover that an obscure game you love with a passion, but assumed everyone else had forgotten about, is coming back.So it is with me and Pocket Card Jockey, a cult title by Game Freak, the creators of Pokémon.Pocket Card Jockey mashes up horse racing and solitaire — unaccountably, but to brilliant effect — and was first released in Japan in 2013, with a western release following in 2016.Pocket Card Jockey is a horse-racing role-playing game in which you collect and breed a stable of cute, stubby-legged racing steeds, and ride them in bizarre but highly dramatic races where key moments are played out in quickfire rounds of solitaire.Funnily enough, Pocket Card Jockey has appeared on iPhone before — it had a short-lived, Japan-only release on Apple’s smartphone in 2014."
