You wake one morning to find a rat regarding you from the armchair. "I been watching you. An' I ain't much impressed with wot I seen." […] "Lucky for you, though, I'm 'ere, and I've got time on me hands. Time enough to show you the ropes, anyway."

    A city of opportunity

    Success Instructions: The Opportunity Deck provides some of Fallen London's more uncommon options. Many stories begin or advance through the deck, and the options there can often be more rewarding than the regularly available ones. Your deck can hold 6 cards - 10 for subscribers - which gradually replenish. Your current lodgings determines the number of cards you can hold in your hand while in London.

    The contents of your Opportunity Deck will vary as you play and your character changes. You can find the Opportunity Deck in most areas, though the cards available may vary based on your location.

    Look for the Deck above regular story content on desktop, or by selecting 'Sometimes' at the top of the screen in mobile.
