💡 Pro Tips

  • •In Advanced mode, choose actions strategically based on your current cards and what you think your opponent might do
  • •Negate actions can be powerful - use them to counter your opponent's boosts or steals
  • •Stealing cards removes them from your opponent's pool, so they can't use them
  • •You have 60 seconds to select each action - if you don't choose, a random action will be selected
  • •Consider surrendering if you're far behind - you'll get half your bet back instead of losing everything
  • •Card prices are color-coded: green = boosted above default, yellow = default value, red = reduced (e.g. by Tax Opponent)
