Plan your next Sunderfolk session
Our guide dives deeper into Sunderfolk’s cooperative design, offering observations that help groups fine‑tune their sessions without promising hidden bonuses. By comparing play styles and noting platform quirks, you can craft smoother game nights and richer role‑playing moments.
01 / THE GUIDE
Compare Online vs. Couch Input
Observe how mouse‑keyboard input feels against phone‑based card selection. Note latency, ease of card reading, and group communication differences to decide which setup suits your group best.
- Test your voice chat settings before a mission to avoid miscommunication.
- Synchronize your game version via Steam to prevent matchmaking issues.

Turn‑Order Experimentation
Run a short mission trying different turn orders—fastest first, strongest first, or mixed. Record enemy responses to see which ordering yields the most efficient defeats.
- Ensure each phone has a stable Wi‑Fi connection to the host’s network.
- Keep the QR code visible and scan it quickly to reduce waiting time.
03 / THE GUIDE
Skill Card Synergy Mapping
Create a simple chart of each player’s favorite cards and identify combos that trigger extra effects or cover each other’s weaknesses during boss fights.
- Discuss card synergies before committing to a turn order.
- Reserve high‑impact cards for boss encounters to maximize effectiveness.

Village Interaction Log
Keep a brief note of each villager you speak to and any gear or dialogue you receive. Over several sessions, patterns may emerge that enrich role‑play.
- Take time to talk to multiple villagers to hear more of what they have to say.
- Visit shops after each mission to see if new gear has appeared.

Steam Feature Utilization
Test Remote Play Together on a TV while using phones as controllers, then compare the experience to a direct PC setup. Record any convenience gains or drawbacks.
- Enable Steam Cloud to keep progress synced if you switch PCs.
