Tips

Deck Building: Focus on building a strong deck with a good balance of unit cards, special cards, and spies. The Northern Realms deck is generally recommended for its strong units and spy cards.
Spy Cards: Utilize spy cards effectively. They allow you to draw extra cards, giving you a significant advantage.
Decoy Card: The Decoy card is invaluable for retrieving your own spy cards or removing an opponent's powerful unit temporarily.
Weather Cards: Be mindful of weather cards and have ways to counter them, such as the Clear Weather card.
Save Often: Save your game before challenging each opponent, especially the tougher ones, to avoid replaying long sections if you lose.
Understand Opponent Decks: Pay attention to the types of decks your opponents are using to better anticipate their strategies.
