Collecting all 3 stars

From each stage. I reckon it's very hard. Any thoughts? I've half-way through the campaign. And even tho I've replayed the first stage a few times, it's almost frustrating to reach 130 points among the 2 challengers!

Garaarghh!

I must add that this game is very good... Just wished they added more animation / voice like that poker game featuring the sadistic bunny.

OK, i've reach 3 stars on Pile o' Treasure stage. This stage counts all the cards in your hand, rather than just the top. Hurray! But yeah, a rare celebration! :D

Those 3-stars are for future replays where you already have developed better abilities.

We definitely made the 3-star ratings a challenge :)

A few tips to help you achieve them...

1) For the early tournaments, going back once you've unlocked dual traits and a wider variety of traits will help a lot

2) Replaying your lowest-scoring match and/or easiest opponent is the best way to increase your score for the tournament as a whole. No sense trying to improve a 67 to a score of 68 when one of your other tournaments ended with 50.

3) For the matches where opponents use one or two traits, things start to get even trickier. Experiment with which traits are the best counters to theirs. Ex. If they have "Master Gunner" use "Misfire" so they have to discard all of one of their own stacks.

Hope that helps. Good luck!

In order to win 3 stars on a Tournament you need an average of 65 points per opponent. The highest score you can get without traits is 70 points, so you only have a 5 point margin of error. I suggest using the Golden Scales trait to make things easier as it will give you 5 bonus points as long as you have at least one Mermaid banked, this will allow you to score up to 75 points per game, which gives you a much more reasonable 10 point margin of error.

As for your second trait, I personally love using Misfire as it really limits the ways that an opponent can reduce your score. However, if playing a tournament where you bust on matching numbers instead of matching suits, I recommend using Davy Jones' Locker as your second trait because the odds of busting are a lot higher since there are only 6 different numbers where as there are 10 different suits.

The last tip is just persistence, sometimes it just takes a lucky Key & Chest combo with 8 cards in your hand on the last turn. If you keep trying you'll eventually get a score over 65 points.

Good luck!

While I LOVE the omission of limited traits...it is kind of weird to receive NOTHING for 3 starring a tournament. How about a small exp bonus the first time you 3 star a given tournament?

Yeah, I too feel kind of disappointed when I 3 star a tournament for no reward (other than a few achievements). There should be an XP bonus of some type.
