YOUR NEXT DECISION
What should you decide before entering?
02
Check a legal play
Some Bosses restrict card count, debuff a suit or lock hand types. Compare a play under that Boss effect.
03
Protect your next turn
If one hand falls short, count the hands and discards left. Keep gold for a purchase only when it changes the route or preserves the next interest step.
Start from the exact target
Ante, Stake and Deck can change the points required. The Boss may debuff a suit, forbid a hand type or limit the cards you can play.
Plan more than one hand
A single play can fall short while several hands can still win. Check the score gap, remaining hands and discards, and save cards needed for the follow-up.
Frequently asked questions
What if my best hand is below the target?
Check how many hands remain and whether a discard or shop purchase creates a legal follow-up. Do not assume one play must win the Blind.
