I think because there is more cards now you have a bigger pool to draw from and it can be harder to build a focused deck early on. My first few runs were terrible.

My advice remains the same as before: don't worry about building a focused deck early, grab whatever generic +chips/+multi you can get your hands on and worry about refining your loadout later on. With the lower blind amounts it's easier than ever to bludgeon your way through the first dozen or so rounds without really needing to specialize.

At least one mult joker will be enough to get you thru the first 2 antes. Sometimes if the blind skips are good enough I'll skip the first 2 blinds and just hope I can draw well to beat the boss, that can setup a good run.

Obviously you need the joker that lets you go -$20 into debt and then it's a loan forgiveness boss

so let's say you play a pair - 2, 2, 7, 10 and J. normally, only the 2s would score - four chips, plus the chips for a pair, plus your multiplier

Splash (that's the one that scores the entire hand iirc) still gives you a pair, but you also get the chips for your 7, 10 and J - and also their bonuses, if yoy have a Joker that reacts to those cards suits or numbers, etc.

Yeah - had the joker that gave 3x mult for playing the same hand after the first then hit the boss blind that disabled playing the same hand. I lost that one real hard.

Game owns - can't get past ante 7 but I'm having a blast. I keep losing with $30+ in the bank because I can't bring myself to lose out on that sweet, sweet interest money but I'm just leaving power on the table, I guess.

The Game: If you do your most played hand, a flush, you will lose all your money

Me, smashing the reroll button while holding the Joker that goes up in Mult during Rerolls, ready to play a flush anyway:

Immediately clicked Unlock All and don't regret it. The method this game has for unlocking metaprogression where you need to pick them when they come up even if they brick your run sucks... but everything else about this game owns.

I didn't see it, but is there a "give me a random deck" option? Because that would be endless amounts of entertainment.

Think so? I won my first demo game I'm 0/3 so far because of bad Joker luck.

I do. Won my second game and generally do a lot better than before because more impactful jokers are showing up in general. Much easier to cobble something together even if you're not getting the best luck.

You raised my hopes and dashed them quite expertly, bravo sir!

Almost won but I swapped the final boss blind and it went to "Very Large Blind" $300,000. I scored $190,000 in the run so I would have easily cleared the normal amount. :smith:

I hope it gets Workshop support eventually. It'd be like Isaac where people could add in all kinds of poo poo to make it a forever game.

how often are you guys acummulating interest early on? i guess you aim for it, but if a good joker comes up, take it?

Early on I aim to get some kind of mult joker that can let me win most blinds with one hand. That lets you accumulate the bonus money from leftover hands, early interest isn't really that important imho.

Also the blind skip that gives you +15$ for beating the boss is a very nice early grab.

i really love the green deck for giving you extra money for leftover hands and discards, it's a very consistent source of cash

It depends, some decks are better for it than others. The red/blue decks don't directly improve your money situation but they let you get by with a lot more sandbagging since the extra resources let you get away with skimping on your deck, and obviously yellow helps a lot. Also the first difficulty level is a real bastard for trying to build up a bank. Generally if I can get away with it I like to try to keep my money above $15 though.

Hearts and Clubs mixture deck, just spam flushes over and over again. Not the neatest or most elegant trick, but it works.

Anyways, still got a lot more to do, even in endless mode for this run, but gonna start thinking about that OP revise now... except that means I'm not playing the game! Argh!

EDIT: Aaaand got owned in Ante 10. Doesn't scale that well, apparently!

A little bit better this time! This was a crazy run where I had no idea what I was doing, so I just let myself accept where Madness took me (it was a combination of Fibonacci, Throwback, and Madness for big mult).

You gotta have a real cracked deck to make it to Ante 12 or better though, sheesh. Grats to Terper who's already done it!

The new face card archetype is simultaneously broken and tedious. Farming 25 gold a round gets kind of old after two blinds.
