Ryukyu is a puzzle game released by Success in 1990. Choose the cards you want to use from your hand and drop them into the squares to complete the highest-scoring poker hand possible in vertical, horizontal or diagonal lines. So… What happens if you clear the game by placing the Ryukyu card in the middle?
