This is obvious but it bears making explicit: '''Failing skill checks in Hearts' Game increases your chance of losing, though it's important to stress you make the same profit regardless'''.

**Even if you cannot consistently pass Advanced Skill checks, '''these accomplices can still be useful, albeit not as a main Progresser'''. The advanced skill Kings and Knights can all provide Prep support, the Page of Inversions can give you a nice checkless head start on Progress, and the Page of Roots can help push you over the finish line since his checkless options are unaffected by Poison Tolerance. | **Even if you cannot consistently pass Advanced Skill checks, '''these accomplices can still be useful, albeit not as a main Progresser'''.
