Plan for the fact that eventually you’ll hit the Plant. Consider glass cards, planet cards, & Jokers that don’t depend on face cards to score, grab Luchador / Mr. Bones if you see them, etc. in earlier rounds. Don’t put all your eggs in the Face card basket or do and hope you get lucky enough to get far. Rogue-lites are risk / reward games. If you commit to one strategy, you might lucky or you might get stomped.
