I like the concept a lot, kind of like dr Mario for poker, however one interaction issue made it very difficult for me to keep playing: In ios 5, swiping down brings down the notifications window. Half the time I was trying to drag the cards down from the top I ended up bringing down notifications instead. I know a few friends who are dealing with similar issues in their games. Perhaps just moving the cards down a little would help?
