    There’s no shame in High Card builds. That’s actually under-leveled. Did you win?

      There’s some fantastic advantages, like more hand space for held in hand effects and you don’t have to worry about being able to find a high card. A good high card build is extremely consistent.

        Straight scales well with planet cards, but can be tricky to draw. Thus, it’s not as often seen at high levels compared to, say, pairs. Full house has a good upgrade path to flush houses in the late game. Good game!

    I ran gold stake zodiac the other day, built around red seal, steel queens; I had 2 foil mimes, foil shoot the moon, polychrome free parking, and yorick at x14 by the end. My high card was, like, level 25, and my best hand was 2.54 billion. The psychic ended up taking me down in ante 12, but I wouldn’t have made it much further than that.

    Oh man…

    This run was a minute ago but pretty sure I leveled Five of a Kind up to like 25-ish by the time I lost
