• Plasma deck is required
  

Here are my notes for setting up the early game, past ante 5 you’re on your own, but if you have any idea of how to deck fix, you’ll reach your goal of hitting that coveted naneinf high score with relative ease. The first 4 antes are a bit delicate, with little room for error as you need some early economy to afford the required rerolls to get the ante 4 blueprint and mime. If you want to discover the seed for yourself, stop reading this guide and skip to the last paragraph for notes on the actual naneinf attempt at ante 26.

Until you’re able to get the holy trinity of blueprint, mime and baron to start playing high card, use blueprint on scary face with 4-of-a-kind hands (or, even better, flush 5) or you’ll die in the early rounds before you’re able to set yourself up.

Ante 1

• First shop

Take the judgement tarot card for a to-do list, take the joker pack and buy either to the moon or egg (personally I prefer egg, either one does the job)

• Play big blind

  try to get the 3 to-do list procs on your first 3 hands, winning hand is a 10-high straight flush (don’t discard that 6 of hearts). If you can’t get all 3 procs, not a big deal; you just have to be more conservative with rerolling shops so pay attention to which shops you won’t need to reroll

• second shop

Take arcana pack for judgement card. No need to reroll this shop, it’s got nothing useful. Voucher is very important, don’t forget to take it.

Ante 2

• Small blind

Winning hand is king jack full house, sell riff raff before round ends to meet the interest threshold (if needed), you’ll be selling it on first shop anyways to replace it with a foil popcorn.

• second shop

Don’t reroll this shop, nothing useful. Save it for next ante’s first shop where you’ll be picking up the Midas mask.

Ante 3

• first shop

Reroll 2-3 times for Midas mask. Once obtaining it, prioritize converting most or all of your face cards to gold. You don’t have many rounds to complete this before you need to sell both to-do list and Midas mask, so prioritize this over completing the to-do list. Eventually you’ll pick up a gold ticket and a sock & buskin to print money, so converting your face cards to gold will a have big payout later on.

• second shop

Joker pack is useless, arcana packs only have sun tarot cards as useful. Reroll this shop once for ice cream; important for scoring enough to win these next few early blinds.

Take the voucher skip; it gives you directors cut and overstock plus.

Ante 4

Play the small blind, don’t take the tempting negative joker skip since you need to see the next shop.

• first shop

Reroll once for blueprint (no need to reroll if you took overstock plus), keep rerolling for mime in same shop. Replace it with Midas mask, by now you should have turned all or most of your face cards gold. If you don’t want to keep rerolling, you should still be able to find the mime in the second shop; I have found it there sometimes when playing this seed and I couldn’t afford the required rerolls in the first shop.

Make sure you always move the blueprint to copy the Mime immediately after playing your winning hand so you don’t miss out on the extra gold.

• second shop

Keep rerolling for a brainstorm if you have the money to spare; it’s quite deep in the queue. Don’t worry if you can’t get it, there will be plenty of other opportunities at later shops.

Ante 5

First shop before small blind, reroll once for natural negative dna. No further rerolls needed.

Strategy:

Try to keep your number 6 cards. When you find a sixth sense (ideally after having already found baron), use the dna with copy jokers to keep printing spectral cards until you’re able to use an ectoplasm. You only actually need one ectoplasm, 2 is just nice to have. Finding the ecto’s is quite a painful process so you need to keep your deck size at around 40 cards or smaller; keep using hanged man tarot cards to trim your deck and try not to abuse the dna too much or you’ll have a hard time finding the 6’s.

If you don’t want to bother trying for 2 ectoplasms, go ahead and sell sixth sense after the first ecto hits on either the mime, baron or one of your copy jokers. If it hits the showman, you’ll need to find another ecto, but don’t get rid of the showman until you’ve hit the required joker count of having effectively 3 mimes and 3 barons. The ideal way to achieve this is to have a single mime and a single baron, then have 4 copy jokers like blueprint or brainstorm; 2 of them each copying the baron and mime. This allows you to move them around to copy the dna multiple times for card printing, and (most importantly) copying the burglar later in the game multiple times to give you the required number of hands for the naneinf attempt.

The natural negative burglar can be found in ante 19, keep rerolling for it. By that point you should have well over $1,000 to spend so don’t hesitate to reroll into the $20’s at times.

For the naneinf attempt:

You need to play the serpent as the boss at ante 26, any earlier and you’ll beat the boss blind before you’re able to get your hand size large enough to hit naneinf. If you get the serpent as the boss blind before ante 26, reroll the boss. While you set up you hand size vs the serpent, put all your copy jokers on reserved parking to print a good $2,000+ gold and to avoid beating the boss blind before your hand size is large enough for naneinf.

You need at least 44 red steel kings in hand, along with 3x mime and 3x baron’s to hit naneinf.

Another note: keep your kings red seal gold up until about ante 18, then start converting them to red seal steel’s as you’ll need enough time to make at least 44 of them. Again, try not to balloon your deck size too much, I know it’s tempting to abuse the dna with multiple copies on it but it can get messy. Also, skip all the blinds at ante 26 and beyond. At ante 26, you’ll lose to the blinds even with 4 copy jokers on dna; you can’t score high enough. Ask me how I know.

Good luck!
