Finer Hand Managing
From Fallen London Wiki
The guide above provides the base guideline, but this will be the abridged guide on the cards you play and the ones you hold until your time left is 2.5 of 5. You want to hold the lowest value cards until this point in order to be able to cycle the cards worth playing for most of the campaign and then play 2 to 4 of them to have a better chance of moving in Stroke of Luck or Trade Show
Assuming you have a residence of 5 and stats that can are up to the challenge, you can consistently hit around 4800 name recognition with this smaller guide if you are using the highest difficulty which will pay out around 47 echoes each run.
- Cards to Hold: The Efforts of the Competition, Freshly Printed Trade Cards, An Urgent Assignment, BDR Campaign Cards
- Cards to Play: Sampling the Goods, The Face of the Campaign, Meddle with the Competition, Product Reviewed
- Cards to Discard: The painter and the copyrighter when you get them.
Always make sure Sampling the Goods is the first card you play after raising the difficulty.
