Cards/Strategies

**Original:**

This assumes that you've started the game and you are drawing some cards but you can't decide.

* Start with the 2's, so that you can gain cards much quicker.
* Go for 5's, Q's, and 3's next, to maximize point gain. If possible, also go for A's, as it makes the Q's and 5's more effective
* If you want to test your luck, go for kings next. This is a hard category to get because you need all 4 to gain the bonus. However, the bonus you get is very strong if received.
* If you want to leave the game for long periods of time, J's are a helpful card to choose. However, 3s are always better than Js, and 5s are always better than 3s. A good order is 2-10-5-Q-A-4-3-9-K-J-8-7-6 from most wanted to least wanted cards.
* When choosing golden cards, if you wish to get all the cards quickly go for 2's and K's, to maximize card gain, and greatly speed up the process.

**(I'm not saying that these strategies above are bad, there could be some exceptions that may apply.)**

**Other strategies:**

You can think about a question to yourself these following after you looked at the strategies above.

* "Is the specific numbered dice multi have a higher value?" If that's the case, then you should choose a card that will increase the dice multiplier even higher. For example, if you earn an average of 1 million points per roll, and your first dice multiplier is approximately 100k, then you should draw the number 10 so that your first dice multiplier will be approximately 1 million. This should help you gain more points.
* "Is my card progression value lower than my required card progression?" If this is the case, then draw the number 2.
* "I think I will be AFKing most of the time." If it is true, then draw the J card. You can gain more points while AFKing but the maximum time is 8 hours.

**Completing a deck:**

Completing a deck requires 52 cards and it can be very difficult for beginners so here are some strategies:

* Like the previous strategy, drawing the number 2 cards should be a must when starting out. If you don't have any available to you for your first draw you may want to think about prestiging for 0% just to cycle through the draws until you have one to give you an extra boost along with gaining more points to ascend more dice with enough points.
* The other way and the more consistent way to increase card progression is by spinning the roulette and gaining chips to upgrade it to least level 2 and buying focuses to guarantee that it lands on card progression x2. However, without the Ace cards, this makes it difficult because you need lots of spins and requires some luck. The maximum chip multi is 32 assuming that you don't have chip multi bought from the bonus shop. (1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2) So each ace card doubles the chips you get.
* Your second priority is the 10 cards as they give you a massive boost in income when stacked, it also means that you can prioritise your first dice when ascending, and keep the other dice at 100a0 so that you can save it for when you have a higher card progress per ascension.

* Thirdly you would want kings. the only reason why I put these below 10s is because without all of them they are useless, and the multiplier is the same as the 10 cards (admittedly for all the dice but when prioritising first dice ascension this becomes less meaningful as all your income is from the first dice)
* After this, things become more of a preference, if you have a high prestige multi applied to the current run then you should push for aces, for the chip multi (and I guess partly the animation duration). Otherwise 5s (or Qs, although I think that the multi on the dice is smaller than 5s at the beginning) to further increase the point multi until you get to spinning the roulette, then aces.

5s vs 3s: 5's act better than 3s, as although 5s are a more conditional multiplier (has to be a combo to work) this condition doesn't really affect the earnings. The chances of not getting a combo with all dice is <6% (15/243). Also, because the multi for combos are over 10x the earnings even for a simple pair, the actual effect is something like 4.999x instead of 5x as your earnings mainly come from combos.

* Once the roulette starts spinning you will want to use the chips you gain to get to lvl 2 (only 5 or 30 chips depending on whether you get lucky). Then you will want to buy focus to get the card progression multi 2x (remember to change the chip bet when you do this to Red to get easy chips) for as long as you can (try to buy focus until it costs over 1k chips). After that things will get much easier and you can essentially go in any order you want for the rest of the deck (still prioritising the ones mentioned above). Here are the best card preference: 2, 10, K, (A, 5, Q), 3, J, 4, (9,8,7,6: interchangeable, but generally in that order). Finally to finish it off, just ascend the second to fifth dice as much as you can, (although make sure you have enough card progression to reach the end of the 52nd card or try using the roulette method to increase it)

Why first dice??: The reason why you should go for the first dice multi is because of a few things: First, it's cheaper so that makes it easier to ascend, (although there is a cut back on the base multi compared to other dice). Secondly, 10s improve that dices multi much more than the others when stacked up (10,000 compared to 6,561, 4,096, 2,401 and 1,296 respectively). Third, the roulette also helps improve the lower numbered dice (first and second) before any of the others so if you get lucky you can get a multi from there too. Lastly, it is the dice you start out with, which means your first dice will get a huge buff.

Low on Points??: If you are struggling to make more points and feel that your card progression is still not high enough to do all of the cards, look for the dice with the highest multi (make sure they are all on the same upgrade ,ie. all of them are at 100a0) and pick it, bearing in mind the dice specific card multis that you have yet to get (the number of 9s, 8s ,7s, or 6s you have currently can limit how much that dice multi can improve once you ascend it, because you will get extra cards for each ascension). If you have done this then obviously the corresponding card becomes much more important (9s, 8s, etc.) and should be pushed above 5s (although not necessarily above Qs). Finally, keep in mind that just because 9s are better than 8s which are better than 7s etc. that doesn't go to say that the second dice multi is better than the 5th all the time, mainly because not only does 5th have a higher base multiplier, but also because of the randomness of the roulette, as you could upgrade straight away and then get a 2x multi on the third dice and suddenly it becomes about 50% better than the second, and slightly better than the first with just 2 spins.

## Gilding

Priority is basically the same as before (probably this way 2, 10, K, (A, 5, Q), 3, J, 4, 9,8,7,6) however you would want to do this in the following order:

* Firstly, once you get to your 8th gild, you may want to reset and change your 10s to kings, to make sure that you can get an extra multiplier every time you take a card and not leave it up to chance.
* Secondly, you may prefer to switch the position of 5s and Qs depending on how fast you push through, (5s are roughly equivalent to a d6 or a lvl 3 multi dice (with the achievement of drawing 4 Qs, a.k.a. multiply the multipliers)) so if you can get all of the multi dice to lvl 3 just get Qs before 5s.
* Thirdly, if you are really far into the game then you can choose to switch Js with 3s when starting out a new gilding process as Js get an extra 2x multi to all dice once you get an achievement (reroll chance 100%), although don't bother if you currently have above 50% re-roll chance.
* Finally, if you have a lot of ascensions you may want to consider pushing 4s up the priority list (if you currently have 5 ascensions put it above J (without achievement or with re-roll 100%), 8 ascensions push them above 3s, 11 pushes 4s above 5s (but not queens as the multis would be above 1k per dice by now)

Also, don't attempt to get as many luck points as you can or try to get the **Goose** achievement because when you get more luck points, well you can put some luck upgrades on it to make the next gilding process advantageous, however, going to the next casinos, luck upgrades, along with your luck points will reset

## Casinos

*Main article: Casinos*

Casinos are unlocked when you have 52 golden cards for the first time.

Priority should be the same as all other strategies above, however, a few things to expect are that you will lose all your golden cards but that's how you progress further, and your card progression value is reduced by 30%. However, you will get 20% more luck from the prestige multiplier upon convert. You also get one skill point so that you can gain more skills. Apply your skill point on chip multi to gain more chips for the purpose to increase card progression more frequently.
