Quick Fix

Stop picking Gambits randomly. These 5 combinations have the highest win rates:

How to Build a Gambit Chain

Rule 1: Pick a Core Gambit First

Your Core Gambit defines your entire strategy. Pick based on what you want to achieve:

Rule 2: Add Support Gambits That Amplify Your Core

Support Gambits should make your Core stronger, not weaker.

Example: If your Core is Compound Interest (stock growth), add:

• Stock Market (bonus at 100+ stock) ✅
• Pawn Parade (generate more stock) ✅ - see the full Pawn Economy Loop for 5+ stock per turn
• NOT First Blood (requires early attacks, conflicts with building stock) ❌
