Tips for Caravan

Have as many kings,6s, and 10s as possible
Your starting hand should have minimul 3 kings, 2 6s, and 2 10s...your last card should be a high card (8,9,10).

Remember: you can switch out cards as many times as you want untill the last caravan is started (by you).

Play 10 on first caravan....10 on second carvan....and 8,9,or 10 on third caravan
Put a King next to the 10 on first caravan
Put a 6 under the 10 on first caravan
(Do this in that order to sell your first caravan before your opponet sells his 2 caravans)
Then put King next to the 10 on second caravan
Put a 6 under the 10 on the second caravan
(Give you 2 caravans totaling 26)
Then put 8,9, or 10 on third caravan
Put King next to 8,9, or 10 on third caravan
Put any card equelling 21-26 on third caravan
(This will sell all three caravans)

If opponet has totaled 26 on any of his caravans, the game will contine...in that case switch out any of your remaining cards untill you get a King....once you have a King, play it on you oppenets first card of the caravan totaling 26...This will cause him to "bust" and you to win!


I have won 25 straight games with this setup: 37 card deck (mine is based on cards I have gathered from sellers)....Get rid of all Jokers, Queesn, and Jacks (The face cards for me are are to see and have messed my hands up) You only need Kings for face cards

So far I have 7 - Kings, 6 - 10s, 7 - 6s, and a mixture of cards from Ace - 9...you want to have these cards because if you have minimul cards in your deck you could end up blowing thru the deck when switching out cards in the beginning setup, so it is recomended to get enough cards for this reason....the more of the Kings, 6s, and 10,s the better...

Now this setup is based on who I have played, and I am not sure yet if it gets harder along the way...or if the oppenet will try to "bust" up my cards or play face cards on my caravans....

Hope this helps!!

From what I've seen in my handful of games - the AI never plays face cards against you (or it would be a lot more interesting).

I've had pretty good luck just playing with a randomized deck of 45-55 cards.

(I've tried to put together a http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ayb48b-4L5g, but the annotations aren't showing up for me.)

I personally use 8's, 9's, 10's, J's, Q's, K's.

8K10, or 89K work well. I tend to keep 2 of A-7 for some reason as well. Game's a cinch once you understand it. I'd love to try it out against a person instead of the computer though.

I haven't been having any trouble winning without customizing my deck AT ALL.... That is to say, I buy all the cards I can find, and I put them all in my active deck... Currently I have 74 or 75 cards and haven't lost any matches that I didn't do on purpose to earn the XP.
