🏆 Progress and wins 8 entries

🥇

Ante Up!

(アンティアップ！) ★ Easy

Unlock condition: Reach Ante 4

Practical tips: Progress to Ante 4 in a normal run. Start by finding a Mult source and a Chips source, then focus early hand upgrades on a hand you can make.
🥇

Ante Upper!

(アンティアッパー！) ★ Normal

Unlock condition: Reach Ante 8

Practical tips: Unlocks when you enter Ante 8 after beating the Ante 7 boss. Keep reroll funds for the preceding shop so you can prepare for the boss effect.
🥇

Heads Up

(ヘッズアップ) ★ Normal

Unlock condition: Win a run

Practical tips: Beat the Ante 8 Boss Blind to win. Start on White Stake and concentrate hand levels and Mult on a hand your deck can make.
🥇

Low Stakes

(ローステークス) ★ Normal

Unlock condition: Win a run on Red Stake or higher

Practical tips: Choose Red Stake and clear Ante 8. A win on a higher Stake also meets the condition.
🥇

Mid Stakes

(ミッドステークス) ★ Hard

Unlock condition: Win a run on Black Stake or higher

Practical tips: From Black Stake, Jokers may carry Eternal stickers. Before buying, decide whether you can use an unsellable Joker for the rest of the run.
🥇

High Stakes

(ハイステークス) ★ Very hard

Unlock condition: Win a run on Gold Stake or higher

Practical tips: Clear Ante 8 on Gold Stake, the highest Stake. Preserve your early economy and cover Chips, additive Mult and XMult as distinct roles.
🥇

Speedrunner

(スピードランナー) ★ Hard

Unlock condition: Win a run in 12 or fewer rounds

Practical tips: An unskipped run takes 24 rounds, so skip Small and Big Blinds where appropriate. Compare the offered Tag’s benefit with your current ability to beat the boss.
🥇

You Get What You Get

(出たもの勝負) ★ Hard

Unlock condition: Win a run without rerolling the shop

Practical tips: Clear Ante 8 without pressing the shop’s Reroll button from the start of the run. Ordinary purchases and opening Booster Packs are not shop rerolls under the stated condition.

Shattered

(シャッタード) ★ Hard

🥇

(完全主義者) ★ Very hard

Practical tips: Check undiscovered Collection slots and work through Jokers, Tarot, Planet, Spectral and Voucher cards.
🥇

Completionist+

(完全主義者＋) ★ Extreme

Unlock condition: Win a Gold Stake run with all 15 decks

Practical tips: A long-term goal of earning each deck’s Gold Sticker. Learn Gold Stake decisions with a deck you handle well before moving to decks with more restrictive rules.
🥇

Completionist++

(完全主義者＋＋) ★ Extreme

Unlock condition: Earn a Gold Sticker on every Joker

Practical tips: Each Joker you hold when winning Ante 8 on Gold Stake earns a Gold Sticker. Build a core that can win with a few main Jokers, then carry missing Jokers in the spare slots.

🎯 Planning achievement runs

1. Start with normal wins and cumulative achievements

Work toward Ante Up!, Ante Upper! and Heads Up while increasing the totals for Card Player and Card Discarder. 10K and Retrograde are also convenient goals during ordinary progression.

2. Check undiscovered entries in the Collection

For Cartomancy, Astronomy, Clairvoyance and Extreme Couponer, choose undiscovered options when they appear. Check the Collection’s empty slots before and after runs rather than relying on names from memory.

3. Use separate runs for restricted goals

Big Hands, Tiny Hands, Nest Egg, ROI and Flushed can conflict with an ordinary win, so a dedicated run is often safer. For You Get What You Get, commit to avoiding shop rerolls from the start to prevent an accidental press.

4. Pursue full completion after learning Gold Stake

Completionist+ requires Gold Stake wins with all 15 decks; Completionist++ requires Gold Stickers on every Joker. First become comfortable earning High Stakes, then carry missing Jokers in spare slots of a winning build.

❓ FAQ

Q. How do Jokers earn Gold Stickers?

A Joker earns one when you hold it as you beat the Ante 8 Boss Blind on Gold Stake. Buying out a shop or merely discovering a Joker does not count. Completionist++ requires this Gold Sticker on every Joker.

Q. Where do Legendary Jokers come from?

Use The Soul, which can rarely appear in Arcana or Spectral Packs. Legendary Jokers do not appear directly in ordinary shops or Buffoon Packs.

Q. How do Completionist+ and Completionist++ differ?

Completionist+ requires Gold Stake wins with all 15 decks. Completionist++ requires holding each Joker during a Gold Stake win so that every Joker receives a Gold Sticker.

Q. How many Steam achievements are there?

The Steam version has 31. This page lists all 31 and checks them against Steam’s official global achievement list. PlayStation has a separate Platinum trophy for earning all trophies.
