The most significant change in v1.0.1N revolves around the economy. Specifically, the interaction between Gift Card and Delayed Gratification has been addressed.

Previously, players discovered that having a Gift Card in a 0-cost Joker slot, combined with the triggers from Delayed Gratification, could lead to negative dollar amounts or bizarre math where you were paying interest on money you didn't know you owed. The math has been audited, and your finances are now safe.

  • Tarot Focus: Only buy The Hanged Man (destroy cards) and Death (copy cards). Thin your deck to 30 cards maximum.
  • The Arm and The Water (two notoriously punishing Blinds) received adjusted math.
