Such a lucky run so far (Red Deck Gold difficulty)… Not quite sure yet what to do, probably sell the tarot joker for the blueprint

I would drop Crazy Joker, doubling The Order will give you way more than +13 mult. That way you can also copy Cartomancer between rounds to get more money/hanged man for Canio.

It's the same conclusion I came to after some thinking, Crazy just won't scale at all though it is very strong at that point as I haven't leveled any hands, so its +12 is effectively x13 right now. But it isn't really needed with such strong X multipliers and it will taper off while the tarot will help the deck scale much better, especially with blueprint

This game sounds extremely deep and complicated to me (a stupid person), but I’ve heard such good things about it. Is the learning curve pretty steep? I’ve played Poker enough to know the rules and I’ve played a couple deck builder games (not sure if it’s relevant but cards).

Picked up the game just last week here, and also introduced it to my wife, who barely plays any video games at all, but likes card games in general. We were both immediately pretty addicted.

It doesn't start off with nearly the level of complexity you'll see discussed here, and you can enjoy yourself with it basically immediately. The complexity will come in as you play more and unlock more cards/push to do challenges and harder stuff once you've won the game many times.
