Obelisk

[Water]

If I have two hands tied for most played, does playing either hand reset the bonus?

Unfortunately, yes.

Yeah...just found that out. Man.

it seems like a really good joker until you can't play any hand without resetting it.
I tend to hit that limit fast since you tend to build your deck around a set few hands.

I think it's good to get early but after winning several blinds using a flush. that way you got some room to use it.

you need to find a replacement fast though because I can't see any way to make it last very long.

If you get obelisk early, play as many high cards as possible every round, and start building the mult when you feel you can play your good hands without reaching high card's limit before you get to the final boss.

It's mostly good if you have something like Ride the Bus, and are playing 3, 4, or even 5 high cards before your "real" hand to get its multiplier up. You quickly end up with such a large gap that you can stop caring about increasing the +mult of RtB and start playing to scale up Obelisk.
When you don't have such a gap, it's nearly useless unless you're really in a pinch.

until the anti the only allows one hand played. that's what got me in the end, I was trying the same thing playing high cards until I could play the hand I built around.
but to make best use of it early is to just do the usual flush hands to get the most $ and played hands so you can easily win the next few hands after you buy it. getting even more $ before selling it off.
