+== Strategy ==
+The main goal is to blow up your chips and act like you don't know the blinds. To do so, you must '''play cards'''. Without playing cards, it is very unlikely for your game-plan to succeed.
+
+The best cards to play are the ones in the best condition. Cards with '''scratches''', '''stains''', or '''scribbles''' do not score very well. Cards that are '''broken''' or '''unrecognizable''' do not score at all. Cards that '''contain obscene language''' deduct from your score. Avoiding these cards is the cornerstone of a professional Balatro.
+
+Some cards may contain '''additional effects'''.
+
+* '''Mirror''' cards copy the effects of the card played to the right, or left.
+* '''Razor''' cards score massive points, at the downside of inflicting a little bit of damage every time they are played.
+* '''Heavy''' cards give extra points, but they take effort and time to drag around, and they always sink to the bottom of your hand if the table is '''flooded'''.
+* '''Pageant''' cards increase your beauty multiplier.
+* '''Honey''' cards are sticky.
+
+High levels of play take advantage of flaws in the game's programming. For instance, due to a strange glitch, playing 5 cards of the same suit rewards you with higher points. This oversight was never patched out, so most see it as fair game to use this to your advantage.
