What is your opinion about Caravan? Have you played in real life?
I think it's a really well made game. It should be more popular than just being a minigame of NV.

Its guite the time waster and its nice to get extra caps early game. I haven't played it in real life but im sure if I can get my work friends to cooperate im sure we can waste our lunch playing it.

The reason why caravan never really got the fame it should have was because of the wierd hotkeys and the layout presented in game. Ringo's instructions don't really help either. And most yotubers make it seem more difficult than it is. It's just blackjack with a few twists.

Never bother with it, any minigames from any game to be honest they're all kinda dumb be it Gwent, Caravan, Dice, or whatever else. At least Caravan didn't pull a gwent from Witcher 3 and force it on you by tying quests with actual content in them to it.

I like it enough that I successfully coerced a few friends to play some games with me years back. Unfortunately it didn't catch on.

Every playthrough I attempt the first game and completely lose interest between unintuitive controls and having seemingly no influence over how it turns out.

Once you get the hang of it you win every time in-game. It's a nice way to get money in F:NV but not fun enough to catch on IRL.

Its kinda broken, more of a game of sabbotage and fastest to reach 21-25 card value. if you figure out a favorite way to reach those points just hoard all the Jacks and kings, use the kings to overshoot your opponent or rush your own caravan and use the jacks to reduce opponents or fix sabbotages after being overpoints. Not sure how fun it be to play IRL when you need more than one deck and they cant have the same design.

Once you hit attempt 5 or so and read how it works you suddenly git gud and can annihilate the AI and win every time.

Queen can sabotage too. The best way is to put it on your opponent's 10. Because most of the time they put a lower number rather than the same suit. And the Joker, I don' think running many of them in a deck is a good idea, but when it works effectively, you'll be so satisfied. I think the better building of face cards in a deck around 35 cards is 4 kings, 2 jacks, 2 Queens, and 1 Joker. Imagine if your hand is full of faces. Numbers are important too.

True in some way, my experience dint have much luck with them, ended up more helping my opponent when they dint have a card to use, NPC dont play that smart and sometimes give up if they cant put a card down instead of discarding.

Also true, there are many combination to achieve that and wanted others to find their own flawor. Mine is to have a bunch of 7, 8, 9, occassionaly 10 or 6. The 3 makes easy 24p sure its not max points but thats not goal of the game, its to have higher and faster than the other. Havent found all players yet but had most trouble with some who just spam you with Jacks thats when I had to throw in 10s and 6s. King your own 10 and put 6 ontop are fast max points or start with a six and king 8-10 ontop, but there are more ways to have fun so experiment

Not even worth playing, not sure what's the point of the dev putting it on the game.
It is great fun as long as you limit the amount of 6's, 8's, 10's and kings that are allowed if you want to play it with other people.

One of my favourite features in the game. I love collecting cards and building a stronger deck. Love it, love it, love it!

I tried it once, couldn't figure it out, and generally didn't like it.
