    Excuse me.  Ante 12's "small" blind requires HOW MANY POINTS!?!?

    Yeah, the point requirements get ridiculously high very fast :D

    Have yet to reach Ante 13, but I'm also not actively trying to go for an endless-viable build. Slowly but surely making my way through the Stakes is enough for now :p Doesn't mean I won't try to go for some super scores if the chance presents itself early. Hasn't happened, yet, though :( Still need that 100,000,000 points hand.

    Anyways, just won a Red Stake run with Painted Deck. Diamond Flush build, gg ez.

    Four more Decks for Red Stake and then it's time for Green Stake, which increases difficulty pretty drastically.

    Checkered Deck is very much a worthwhile reward!

    Definitely one of the easiest decks to win with, I feel.

    I didn't think 1 less consumable item space would be so bad, but yeah... It's pretty bad.

    Consumables can be run savers/winners. I still more often than not use these cards immediately when I get them instead of saving them for a round.
    And yeah, one less slot is bad :p

    6 more decks do win with at Red Stake before moving on to Green Stake. Slowly but surely making progress.

    I hope that console versions will get the PC updates soon. I read that the dev delayed the patch(es) for a week to include some more fixes, but I need that 1 in 4 chance to get a barbaric YAWP NOPE! now :(

    But, what if it works!?

    Nope!

    Black Deck is very much a step above in difficulty. The lack of hands is utterly painful! Don't last long enough to take advantage of the extra Joker slot...

    Yeah, that Deck is rough. Just beat Red Stake with it. Barely pulled through almost-mid-game with Gros Michel. I was able to pivot to a Two Pair build during Ante 3, though :peace:

    With higher Stakes, Ante 1 becomes a little too RNG-dependent for my tastes. If you don't get an early mult-Joker, you're usually screwed. Now, starting a new run is quick and you don't lose anything, but sometimes I simply don't want to restart 5 times in a row because I get crapped on by shops with no Jokers :(

    Man, you don't mess around!

    To be fair, it was with one of the easier decks you can unlock.

    Gonna go with my Slay the Spire method now: only move to a higher Stake if I've beaten the previous one with all Decks!

    Back from work and got my new copy, which thankfully works.

    Awesome!
    Happy gaming :peace::D

    After 10 hours of playtime I've reached Chapter 4. It's so much fun :)

    Edit:

    Spoiler

    Fort Condor minigame is back? :o
    I was sucked into one match, at least :p

    Woke up early to play more :p

    One annoying thing I noticed: Party members you don't control attack way too infrequently...their ATB Gauge barely fills up during fights. I don't remember if it was the same in Remake but goodness me it's infuriating :nono:
    Aerith is my designated healer right now with Cure set as an Auto-Ability but it's useless when I have to keep watching HP and her ATB Gauge.

    Can see myself getting mad addicted to this :D

    It's a dangerous game for sure :p

    The final difficulty reduces hand size by 1, which sucks :(

    It's crazy how much it sucks...
    These Stakes really do feel like Slay the Spire's Ascensions. You need to get fairly lucky early to have a chance to survive and then just play like a genius. Even then, RNG can and will fuck you up at times.

    Love it :laughing:

    I might focus on unlocking the final 4 jokers next, before tackling all Stakes with all Decks. I need to

    • play a 5 card hand that only contains Gold cards
    • play a hand that contains four 7 of Clubs
    • discard 5 Jacks at the same time
    • in one hand, earn at least 100,000,000 chips
