💡 Pro Tips

Elevate your dueling strategy with these expert tips to dominate every match!

• 🎪 Master the art of baiting by occasionally playing a low card from a strong suit. This can lure your opponent into wasting their high-value cards early, leaving them vulnerable later.
• ⚡ Pay close attention to which suits have been played. If a suit is exhausted from your opponent's hand, you can safely lead with it to force a draw.
• 💰 Your most powerful cards are your trumps. Hold onto them for critical moments instead of playing them early, using them to steal tricks when your opponent least expects it.
• 🏆 Against advanced AI, watch for patterns in their play style. They may have tells for when they are unable to follow suit, allowing you to capitalize and pressure them into drawing.
