For example, Mystic Summit is one of our favorites because it gives you a massive +15 multiplayer when you have no more discard. So you might want to save your best hands at the end and then play them all in a single rush to get those sweet sweet chips. Naturally, that is also a dangerous way of playing but hey, who ever said life was riskfree?
Or also, Castle will grant you +3 Chips per discarded card from a random suit, since the suit will change every round. That is a good one that you can plan around while you’re waiting for Mystic Summit to activate.
Generally speaking, the ideal combination is having Jokers that will grant you Mult on every hand or specific hands that you can plan for. Also, naturally chips and multiplier. You might also want to work towards building up combos between jokers themselves.
