01 / THE GUIDE
Observe Pile Variety
Spend a session noting differences between early and later trash piles. Compare how card rarity appears across varied visual themes to develop an intuition for which piles may yield better finds.
- Take your time with each pile; the game is playable without timed input.
- Compare the rarity of cards you find to gauge which piles are most rewarding.

Open the collection screen and write down missing cards. Use this list as a reference while digging, allowing you to prioritize piles that historically contain those card types.
- Keep an eye on the collection screen to see which cards are still missing.
- Use the sorting feature to organize cards by rarity or theme.
