🎯 Sample Hands Guide

Master hand construction with these proven archetypes for Party Mode

📐 Anatomy of a Winning Hand

Every successful hand in Party Mode consists of a Chaos Card plus Action Cards. Here's what to aim for:

💥
Chaos Card
Your foundation. Defines your strategy and scoring multipliers. Match your Actions to its strengths.
⚡
Energy Budget
You start with 10 Energy. High-cost cards are powerful but limit your plays. Balance cost vs. count.
🎴
Action Cards
Aim for 3-5 Action Cards depending on costs. More cards = more flexibility but less power per card.
🔗
Synergy
Look for cards that combo together. Link chains, Energize+Push, Draw+Combo all multiply your score.

💡 Hand Building Tips

  • Read your Chaos Card first. Build your Action Card selection around what your Chaos Card rewards.
  • Energy math matters. With 10 Energy, you can play: 2×Cost-5, or 5×Cost-2, or 3×Cost-3 + 1×Cost-1. Plan ahead.
  • Don't ignore 0-cost cards. They're "free" plays that add to your card count for Combo effects.
  • Watch for synergy keywords. "Per Link played" + Link cards, "Per card drawn" + Draw cards, etc.
  • Counter-pick when possible. If you see opponents building Multiplier, a well-timed Sabotage can swing the game.
  • Don't be greedy. A consistent 25-point hand often beats a 40-point gamble that fails half the time.
