What bonuses did we get?

Highlight feature: Let’s Get Crafty - Crafting a Credit Card Strategy

The basic strategy is the same for every situation. 

  • Do you have a Player Two?
  • Evaluate any upcoming trips or desired trips

Scenario 1: Two player mode, both people can get business cards

Scenario 2: Two player mode, only one person can get business cards

Similar to Scenario 1 but you can’t refer each other on business cards

Scenario 3: Two player mode, no business cards

This is when looking long term is very important

Scenario 4: Single player mode, no business card

This is the most challenging way to play the game.
