Quick guide to how play one card
-play normal cards then attack cards then special cards. basically try to keep counter attacking cards in reserves.
exception, somebody may win soon so you must stop them.
-attack with 2 then 3 then 5 in that priority.
exception, somebody is on thier last card so you use red cygnus since their last card might be a 2/3 attack card.
-do not play one more and attempt to save them to color hop.
exception, somebody may win soon and you have to dump cards to improve rank, or one more is your last card of the current color.
-take a card instead of using your special card. using your cygnus thief to block a high attack is better use than preventing to take a card.
exception, somebody is going to win soon, or you can win soon.
-use reverse to direct players with a lot of cards away from you. you will be less likely to be attacked.
exception, the player with a lot of cards is dumb.
-pay attention to what color somebody switched to, and also which color somebody is taking a card.
try to get off of colors other people want, and try to play colors that people don't have.
How to use cygnus special cards to the greatest effect -
Green - dump all other colors than green and try not to play green cards. also even if you don't have green cygnus but you have a lot of greens, dump other colors in hope that somebody will play green cygnus. also if somebody is going to win soon you can use green cygnus to dump cards to improve rank.
Thief - only use for high attacks and try to save it as your last card. most of the time its better to take a card rather than to use this.
Blue - try to play it right before somebody wins. if people still have a lot of cards then the 2 extra cards may already connect with their cards.
Red - don't use it as a starting attack unless the person after you has 1 card left. use it to counter attacks when others try to throw attacks at you.
Yellow - if this card is your last yellow, playing it down or taking a card depends on whether or not you can win soon. if you aren't going to win soon it might be better to just take a card and save to counter attacks.

[quote=Avatar]Isn't the objective of these mini games to win so you can collect points? If so why are you making your opposition better by helping them?[/quote]
Few reasons.
1. Show off how much you know about the game and talking about it is fun.
2. Some people enjoy helping other people.
3. Helping others play better means your games will be on average more enjoyable.
4. If all I cared about was reward points then I would go farm RPS for 3000 / hour
Few tips I'll add
A) The first two cards drawn off the deck at the start of the game will always be attack cards.
Watch who takes these cards, realize that your attacks are very likely not going connect with them. Alternatively, take them yourself or use them to amplify your attacks through to the person opposite you.
B) You can connect both through numbers and colors, therefore to maximize your playable cards try to keep a good spread of numbers.
That means if you have two 3s and only a single 5, play the spare 3 out first, all else being equal.
C) It's good to know how close a person is to being knocked out.
If someone is only 1 card away, try dropping an Oz/Hawkeye on them.
Someone always rage quit after I won match 3 times.

[quote=Rikorin]can never find someone to play the typing game with me D:[/quote]
Everyone's busy at one card breh
OT: Why would you give people that advice? The purpose of the game is to win for more SP/RP. You can't give your enemies the advantage!
[quote=gamemage3]its a luck based game anyways, might as well tell people about the little strategies left in the game
funny how people don't play pure skill based like typing or star step[/quote]

Why people usually wait during time out because people don't have number or color. </3

[quote=OHKOJay]What is the significance of using 2,3,5 in that order? Generally curious[/quote]
Once someone plays the +2, if someone plays +3, the +2 can't be used. Only the +3 can be stacked.
If the +5 is used (Oz Card) on top of the stacks they either have to take it, shield, or skip.

Lmao.. I play for Star Points (to keep rank), don't care what position I come.. Unlike some people in the game.. Dragging a game when you can just bloody end it and start a new game. If they want their poor cheapskate Reward Points faster, just end the game faster..
I have a better one. Don't afk after entering.
