Thanks so much for the strategy and explanation! It's a bit counter intuitive but it's probably why I struggle at the game so much! Now I just have to put it into practice! 👍

Thanks for watching! Let us know if it worked out!

@@ShowMeHowToWin Yes it did! I can win against PC, often on Medium Hard, and sometimes on Hard. Most importantly I've learnt to calculate my risk and choose my cards differently from before. Thanks again!

The actual strategy tips start around 8:48

There's some good tips here. The interviewer is good, but she makes one mistake when summarizing the strategy. John did not say to combine red symbols on a single card. That's a terrible idea because you could bust even before your turn starts.

Thank you for watching and the insightful comment!

I played a few hours the PC version and was struggling to win against AI at level 2. I was doing several things differently to to tips given by John. I will try out the tips. Thank you for the informative interview, the background information about the game and the tips! Unfortunately I could not find people interested in playing with my physical copy.

I thought I was hot stuff because I defeated the A.I. in the app at its second-highest difficulty. Then I started playing it on Yucata, and I got my ass handed to me three games in a row. Thanks for the tips. I’ll try them out!
