I finally won a run!!!

Nice work! Know a few people are stuck at the Not Won Yet stage, but you'll get there eventually, and get better at making it happen more often. It's far more RNG than something like Slay the Spire and deffo leans into those slot machine vibes, BUT one thing it shares with StS is that it forces players that want to succeed to manage both what do I need to win and what do i need to survive the next round?

I think this is key.  I tend to approach it in stages - first ante you'll likely survive whatever, so you need to try and have at least one joker that's going to give you some easy multis to help you cruise through the next few. Ideally I want at least one that's going to build up for later - but easy chips/multis now are the priority.  Antes 2-3 are usually then me working out what my strategy's going to be based on the cards I've been given - selling off jokers when better ones appear to favour my plan.  By ante 4-5 I usually have a clear idea what I'm going for, and at least one x multi in my favour - and hopefully a bit of cash so that I can rely on interest and ditch the money making jokers.  The rest is then usually just cementing The Plan (which may mean planets, or manipulating the deck, or whatever). It's very rare that I crash out in the later antes (and if I do it's because I did something daft) - quite often the jokers will do almost all the work, and I've had runs where the hands played have almost become irrelevant.

It's a game where most of the tension is near the start/middle, and the final few bits usually feel like victory laps - so winning feels pretty good.  (At least at base difficulty). I think it also gets significantly easier once you've unlocked a few more jokers and coupons. For all my waffling above, I'm still not convinced that the fact I now rarely lose is down to skill, and suspect it's more that the game gives me far more tools to enable me to win.

Question. Spoiler the answer if you want. Does the ‘Blank’ voucher actually do nothing? I bought it once and didn’t notice anything and it’s just come up again in my current run.
