I started this game yesterday and drat it's good.

I played for a half-dozen hours and still haven't made it to ante 8, most of the time I petre out around 4.

Are there any guides to get me through my first win?

Beat Black Stake with this set-up. Double Joker Stencil is absolutely wild.

Fun fact with Four Fingers people may not know. You can turn any normal straight into a Straight Flush so long as 3 of the cards involved in the straight are the right suit. Simply add a card of the correct suit to a 5 card hand and even though say, Ace, 2, 3 of clubs and 4 of Hearts is not a flush, adding the 8 of clubs turns it into one.

Here is a visual demonstration


By the way this also works for Flush Houses and Flush Fives.



I saw a youtube video on this earlier.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVSmeFea7vs

So from this, we can conclude that this is not actually because of Four Fingers (even though practically it is), it's because of how the game checks for these advanced hands. If you're attempting to play a Straight Flush, the game doesn't ask "Do you have five cards in a row of the same suit?", or, with Four Fingers, "Do you have four cards in a row of the same suit?" The game asks "Have you met the conditions for a Straight?" And "Have you met the conditions for a Flush?" independently of one another. And with Four Fingers, it sees "A-2-3-4, the condition for a Straight is met. Four hearts, the condition for a Flush is met. Both conditions are met, thus, this is a Straight Flush." Similarly in the second example, the conditions for a flush, four cards of the same suit and the conditions for a full house, a pair plus three of a kind, are both met, thus, Flush House.

Interesting stuff!

You know the thing about complaining on the Internet? It works.

Just won with the green deck, feeling pretty good about things (trigger six more hours without another win)

The "convert the left card into the right card" text is too complicated.

Try reading it as "turn this into this" instead. You're reading it from left to right, the cards are left to right.

Turn this into this.

Easy.

I didn't gently caress it up, I'm hoping this one can go deep, but it's not really transitioned well into an end game build.

That's me with purple stake on yellow deck right now. I'm repeatedly rerolling the starting ante for good starter tags since purple scaling means you need something to boost score or you won't make it anywhere past the initial rounds.

Look for those x multipliers. They are multiplicative instead of additive. Drag them to the right side of your joker hand, it has an order of operations. Look for multipliers that scale with a strategy.

Nope, but there is a spectral card that will let you add 1 of foil/holo/polychrome which will not overwrite basic enhancements like wild.

I had an incredible run earlier going into 8. Played a hand and saw the blind was play only one hand. Next run ante 2 or 3 I get psychic and ragequit after I play two hands. Swear to myself that I'm going to pay more attention this run.


Ante 6 I get to psychic, promptly play one hand into it and give up because I'm so mad at myself. Made up for it later when two wheels landed in a row.

Does the Supernova Joker differentiate between a flush and a straight flush, like does it give its +mult to a straight flush if your top played hand is a regular flush?

They are different hands and are treated separately.

I would love to know the odds per planet card in any given celestial pack. Neptune shows up way too often. I wonder if it's weighted more towards more difficult hands to assemble? I see four of a kind, straight flush, and straight planet cards more than any other planet card combined

anything that triggers chips should be on the left, anything that adds flat mult in the middle, anything that multiplies mult goes to the right

You idiot.
In this world it's pet or BE pet.

Cards have three possible upgrades and can have up to one of each. Standard pack cards can have 0 to 3 of them pre-applied.
Enhancements which just come from tarot cards, multi/bonus/lucky/steel/glass/stone.
Editions which are holo/foil/polychrome and come from spectral packs.
Seals which are gold/purple/red/blue and also just come from spectral packs.
