Man, I keep farting out at ante 7 on white stakes. I just don't seem to get enough chips/multi to squeak past. I'm enjoying the black deck and buying out the store though

Trying to describe this game to people who don't play video games is a wonderful thing. It's a poker game! No not like that, there's no real money. No, and there's no dealer, you just select cards. And no, you're not playing against anyone. And there are cards that just change the rules spontaneously. Huh? Of course it's fun, it's one of the most fun games I've played in ages!

Got to ante 10/8 on flushes and flush houses with the green deck but just didn't have the staying power to keep going. Then the Jokers I unlocked were ones that would have given me the staying power to keep going :v:

At ante 12+ retriggering multiplier-multipliers on cards is the way to go. Steel cards, glass cards, polychrome cards with red seal and jokers that retrigger cards or have card based multipliers (Baron, Ancient Joker.) You also start to really want jokers that copy jokers. Billion-plus scores are usually made by stacking a lot of 1.5x multipliers.

I need to figure out how to get these more reliably, I'm still just squeaking in wins. Pretty reliably at least, but I've only gotten past ante 10 once

Small Brain: The Wheel is rigged
Big Brain: Flush draws are rigged because it's a flaw in the gameplay and they had to intentionally decrease a chance of pulling your suit because it's too easy

Every time I get a dominant suite I draw every single other card but that until they're gone

It's very annoying but it's so consistent you can just get the discard jokers and let them carry you lol

Wheel of Fortune may never hit, but Misprint is top-tier and always hits 18+

Harold Fjord posted:

I'm not sure I entirely understand skipping because it seems dumb and why would I ever do it

I guess it might be good if I don't need to build up a joker effect and there's no reward on the blind due to the level of stakes?

Doubling your money mid-game, or getting everything for free early, is extremely good. It's not always worth it but it can be

You should always skip ante 1 small blind mega buffoon pack or +15 gold after boss (assuming those are possible, its been a while). And I assume that even die hard skip haters can see the value of skip for negative guarantee.

I never seem to get the negative guarantee unless I'm early and broke or full up on jokers and don't want to make hard choices

That challenge isn't too bad, you just need to make sure you're ramping up your Ride the Bus multiplier as much as possible. That should carry you through the first couple of antes, at which point you should be able to get more jokers to support you.

Or at least there should be a voucher that gives an extra booster in the shop

I beat it by totally ignoring RtB lol. Got a couple 1.5x multipliers too to ride it in

I was super mad doing that challenge today and was sure the shuffler was broken because I was drawing so many face cards. Eventually I figured it out.

I got 11 mil in one hand and hit ante 12. I didn't make it past 300 mil :v:

Not that it matters though but is the achievement bugged? I didn't hit it, but it relied on card sharp. Does it mean your first and only hand must be 1 mil?

To be honest I like that it's varying levels of luck in challenges and stakes. It's a poker game, after all. Sometimes you win big and sometimes you get hard countered, the higher difficulties leaning more into luck seems fitting

What’s the value of the ante-down voucher? Don’t you want to get to 8 for the win?

It gives you time to build up cards that generate on plays, or get extra tags, etc. It drops the chip requirement to the last ante to do so so you basically go again. I don't like it late unless you're doomed and need more time to squeak to that ante 8 win but early it's valuable for building momentum

The fun thing about -1 ante is on the first ante, it'll take you to ante 0, and on ante 9 it'll take you back to ante 8 so you'll have to do a big boss again.
