Advanced Strategies

This guide is for players who have already completed several prestige runs and want to optimise long-term growth. If you are still learning the basics, start with the How to Play guide.

Card Priority

Not all cards are equally valuable in the long run. Prioritise levelling in this order:

  1. Cost reduction cards — they compound with every business purchase, effectively increasing your income by reducing costs.
  2. "All income" cards — apply to both click and passive, and scale multiplicatively with prestige points.
  3. Passive-only cards — valuable but slightly weaker than "all income" equivalents.
  4. Click-only cards — least valuable long-term as clicking becomes a smaller share of income.

Prestige Optimisation

  • Target 5+ points per prestige. The time cost of resetting is only worthwhile with meaningful gains.
  • Never prestige below 2 points. The 2% boost from a single point doesn't accelerate meaningfully.
  • Use card bonuses to extend runs. Strong cost-reduction cards push the profitable run length further, so you can earn more before resetting.

Pack Farming

  • Starter Packs are the most efficient way to chase common and uncommon cards. Open these early.
  • Premium Packs are best for chasing rare and epic cards in the mid game.
  • Elite Vaults skip commons entirely — only buy these once you have $12M and are hunting Legendaries, Mythics and Divines.

Casino Maths

Every casino game has a house edge. Over many bets, you will lose money. If you choose to play the casino, understand these realities:

  • Never bet more than you can afford to lose. The 50% wallet cap helps, but discipline matters more.
  • Games like Blackjack and Video Poker have the lowest edges (~1–2%). These are the "least bad" bets.
  • Games like Crash and Mines can produce spectacular wins but are designed to pay out less than 100% on average.
  • Avoid doubling systems. Martingale-style strategies work in theory but hit the 50% wallet cap almost immediately.

Long-Term Goals

  • Complete the full card archive (1,000/1,000 owned).
  • Level every card to its max.
  • Reach 1,000 prestige points for a permanent +2,000% income bonus.
  • Earn enough in a single run to afford multiple Elite Vaults per second of idle income.
