Leaderboards and Ranked Challenges

Looking to dazzle the world with your trick-taking skills? Or casually try a new build without starting from scratch? Whether you’re aiming to be in the Top 10, or looking for a few consistent practice rounds, this update is for you!

Weekly Challenges. You can now unlock Challenges: short, 6-round runs, where you start with a curated set of special cards. Careful! Even in Round 1, you'll need to use your special cards to advance.

Challenges are seeded, which means they use consistent pseudo-random number sequences, guaranteeing that you'll be dealt the same hand every time you start the challenge. It also means every other player will be dealt the same hand. You can retry the challenge as often as you'd like. Your highest score will be recorded on the weekly leaderboards, so feel free to try and optimize your run!

Challenges are also a great way to practice a different build. This week’s build is all about planning ahead to maximize “Perfect Harmony” and “Go Big or Go Home.”

Global Leaderboards. You’ll also unlock Rankings. When you beat the demo, your highest score (based on cumulative number of overtricks) will be recorded. Not only can you see how you rank, but you can also see the builds other players are using to get their highest scores!

Miscellaneous Updates. A few additional minor patches:

• Treasure Hoarder. There is now an additional bonus for when you win 9 diamonds (only possible by using “6s and 7s” or “Diamonds Overload” + “Mirror Mirror”).

• Finesse. The Finesse icon now appears on certain Aces and Queens, so you know when it's possible to win additional points.

What’s next? I’m planning to use Challenge Mode to test out new special cards and game mechanics, so keep an eye out for that! If you have feedback about a particular challenge (or anything at all!), please let me know in the Discord server!
