Blue Deck

+1 hand each round

A fourth hand each round. More scoring attempts, and a safety net for engines that take a turn to start.

How Blue Deck Works

Blue gives you 4 hands a round instead of 3. That means more triggers for per-hand scaling jokers, more chances to hit your best poker hand, and a backup if your first hand falls short. It fits any engine that grows each time it fires.

How to Play It

Early · A1-3

Play the extra hands to bank chips and money. The spare hand covers a slow start.

Mid · A4-6

Feed per-hand scalers like Ride the Bus and Green Joker. Each extra hand is permanent growth.

Late · A7-8

Use the fourth hand to set up the perfect scoring hand instead of forcing an early one.

Tips

  • Per-hand scaling jokers gain an extra tick every round here, so prioritise them.
  • The extra hand is also extra safety. Test a risky play when you can afford it.
