I beat Orange Stake on Black Deck tonight, leaving just 5 Gold Stake games for Completionist+...

It was a comfortable game with a horrible sting in the tail though...

I had The Family (4X for 4oaK) and Blueprint, plus loads of high +Mult jokers, and with 15 4s, I was hitting 4oaKs at will.

But... my usual favourite Ante 8 Boss Blind - Amber Acorn - is a ***** if you need Blueprint, which I did.

I had to play a 4oaK to find The Family, and I was able to identify 4 of my 5 other Jokers and shift them left, leaving two Jokers to the left of The Family - one of which was Blueprint and the other was Drunkard... it was a 50/50, and Blueprint needed to trigger for me to score enough to win on my final hand - and I got lucky 😊

Looking back at the replay after the game, I should have spotted Blueprint earlier, but I was too busy moving Jokers around before I forgot them. At least I played the game honestly and didn't resort to using the replay function to manipulate the Joker deck during the final round, so it was an honest win... if a tad lucky 😅

I currently have 38/150 Gold Stickers... so a looooong way to go for Completionist ++ :sick:

I beat Gold Stake on Nebula Deck tonight 🥇

I had two copies of Onyx Agate (∞) and so I was able to use Hex on a Flush joker - I leveled up Flushes to Level 24 (everything else was Lvl. 1!)) and collected Clubs - I got Throwback up to 3.5X and got The Duo and other Pairs Jokers near the end, so pivoted towards playing Flushes containing a Pair, which was pretty easy.

I got Crimson Heart as the Ante 8 Boss Blind, and played a dead hand to debuff a non-important Joker, then played a Club Flush with a Pair for an easy win :D

The very next Boss Blind was The Club, so I was certain I'd lose - but I managed to beat it with the help of Steel Cards and The Duo.

I reckon I got 4 new Gold stickers out of it too.
