WHAT MATTERS THIS PLAY?

Choose your goal

START HEREPick your hand

Tap the cards you see. Your best play appears here automatically for the effects shown.

This score includes the card effects, Jokers and Blind you selected. Add every Joker you own or confirm that you have none. An unshown effect in your Run can change the in-game total.

Find the strongest legal play

The search checks card selections and the Joker effects you marked, including held cards and the selected Boss rule. It names the cards to play and the cards to keep.

Choose the goal that matters

The highest score is not always the best move. If a smaller hand clears the Blind, keep a useful card for later; if you are short, compare discards and remaining hands.

Recheck after the draw

A future draw is unknown until it appears. When your hand changes, the best play may change too. Use the cards actually visible rather than a hoped-for draw.

Frequently asked questions

Can it save a particular card?

Yes. Choose the goal that keeps a key card, then compare it with the highest-scoring play.

Does it plan every future draw?

It plans from the cards and remaining moves you can see. An unseen draw can change the best later play.
