Great Deal

About

Great Deal is a puzzle game where you manage a grid of falling cards. Each turn you arrange five cards into a 5x5 field as they drop from the top of the screen. The goal is to form matching combinations horizontally or vertically so they clear before the grid fills. Cards range from 2 to ace across four suits plus one wild joker. You have limited time to place each set requiring strategic choices about which patterns to prioritize. The challenge grows as the pace quickens and new cards keep arriving. This 1991 Family Computer title stands out for its clever twist on card game logic combined with timed puzzle mechanics. With just single player mode and no frills beyond its core concept it manages to feel surprisingly deep. Players who enjoy tactical placement under pressure might appreciate the balance between luck and skill. The inclusion of a joker card adds flexibility to combinations making each decision feel meaningful. While not widely discussed in modern circles its compact design and growing difficulty curve create a satisfying challenge that holds up.
