Janken Cards 100% دليل الإنجاز

Why this guide?

I know what you’re probably thinking. Why in the world did I write this guide? Janken Cards is a very little-known game, and for good reason. It is incredibly buggy, riddled with typos, has no mouse support, and a practically nonexistent player base. علاوة على ذلك, the game isn’t terribly entertaining. It has an interesting premise, but the game is poorly executed.

ما زال, you might find that you have this boondoggle in your library. و, to be honest, it really isn’t too difficult to get a good portion of the achievements. It just takes some time to get them all done.

Looking at the global achievement list, هو - هي’s obvious that most of the players have used Steam Achievement Manager to check off the achievements in this game. How else would you be able to explain that more people have managed to complete 50 Tournaments than those who have completed 10? But if you are the kind of person (like me) who refuses to resort to such obvious cheating methods, وأنت’re still determined to get all the achievements in this game, read on.

How To Play

Presumably, you are familiar with the game “rock, paper, scissors.” Two players choose one of three signs, and the winner is determined by whatever “beats” the other. Rock breaks scissors, scissors cut paper and paper covers rock. Janken Cards takes this concept and turns it into a card game.

The two players have a tableau of five columns with some cards already dealt to it. Each player has a hand of three cards, visible to the other player. They play cards to the tableau, and if they play a card that would “defeat” the one(ق) above it, they score points. على سبيل المثال, if someone played a scissors card on a paper card, the paper card is eliminated and that player scores points based on how far down the column that paper card was located. If there were multiple paper cards in sequence, the scissors would eliminate each one, and that player would gets points for every card. لكن, be careful! If the player eliminates the top most card of the column, then the column will be awarded to his or her opponent. على نفس المنوال, if a player places a card in the final spot and all the cards are not matching (e.g. all scissors) then that column is awarded to the opponent. If a player is able to score three columns, they win the game – خلاف ذلك, play ends when the draw pile is completely depleted, and the player with the highest amount of points is declared the winner.

Even though a good portion of the game relies on luck, there are some strategy elements to it. Do you try to win by claiming the most columns? Or will you go ahead and sacrifice a column or two to your opponent in order to get more points?

One good strategy is to keep an eye on what your opponent has in its hand. Let’s say that there is a column of rock. It is your turn and you have paper, but no rock. Your opponent, لكن, has two rock cards. It might be best to go ahead and play your paper card on the rock column. Sure, the column will be awarded to your opponent, but you’ll at least get some points out of it.

It doesn’t take long to figure out a basic strategy against your opponent, and once you get a good system down and start winning consistently, the game kind of gets boring at that point. It becomes much more luck-based, rather than skill. Nothing is more annoying in this game than stacking up a bunch of score multiplier cards and then ending up with no way to score points.

لذا, with the basic rules out of the way, let’s look at the achievements!

Basic Achievements

Winner – Win one game

Serial Winner – يفوز 10 games

Century Winner – يفوز 100 games

Incredible Winner – يفوز 500 games

When you start the game, you will be prompted to make a profile. Go ahead and do so, then keep with this profile for all of the basic achievements. The game will only look at this primary profile for a good portion of the achievements. If you make multiple profiles, the games and time you spend are NOT cumulative. So you will want to do most of your winning – and playing – with this first profile.

قوة تحمل – يلعب 1 hour

Super Stamina – يلعب 10 ساعات

Epic Stamina – يلعب 50 ساعات

As mentioned above, the game will only look at one of the profiles to determine if these times are met, and not add up the times for all the profiles. فضلاً عن ذلك, since each turn has a time limit, it is these that are added up to determine the actual time played. أنت تستطيع’t just leave the game running overnight to get these achievements without the help of an auto-clicker. أن يقال, you can still “cheese” some of these.

One of the settings you can tweak is how long you have to make your move, with the maximum duration being 60 ثواني. This can be done in the “options” قائمة طعام, as you can see from the screenshot below.

So once you have set the timer to 60 ثواني, go ahead and go into a “Quick Match” and make sure you choose the “خاص” لعبة.

Janken Cards will now go ahead and play for you. It will select the card that is furthest to the right (the one closest to the tableau) و, once the timer counts down to zero, play it to a random, open column. Unless it is a special card, of course – then that card’s effect go into play. لذا, for the first play, if you see a score multiplier or a “take two turns” card in your hand, select that one, لكن دون’t play it – let the timer count down, بدلاً من. Then just walk away from your computer for a bit. Go read a book, get some food, take a nap, feed the cat, or whatever chores you have to attend to. Check on Janken Cards every half hour or so, and if the game is finished (you will probably lose) simply hit “enter” to start a new game and resume your previous duties. هو - هي’s a good way to play the game without actually playing the game. Because, let’s face it, we can probably think of many other things more entertaining than playing Janken Cards. Washing the dishes, على سبيل المثال.

Collector – Unlock all avatars.

There are a total of 16 avatars in the game. Only half of them will be available at the start of the game. The more you play, the more will be unlocked. You should get all of them well before you get close to completing many of these other achievements.

Game Winning Achievements

You don’t have to get any of these with your primary profile, but it wouldn’t hurt (especially if you are trying to win a certain number of games). Any of these can be achieved in any mode, including two-player modes where you play against another human player. Since on-line multiplayer isn’t a factor in Janken Cards, رغم ذلك, you may as well be that second player. (Why would you want to subject someone else to this game, anyway?)

Columnist – Win a game by columns

Keep Clear – يفوز 3-0 columns

أنت’ll probably get both of these at the same time. Simply win one game by claiming three columns. These two achievements don’t get much more basic than that.

Manita – يفوز 5-0 columns

This one is trickier, and would probably be easiest by making a second profile and playing a 2-player “Versus” لعبة. It is only possible by using the “double highest card” بطاقة. You need to set up the board so that each column consists of only one symbol – على سبيل المثال, a column of scissors, a column pf papers, a column of rocks, إلخ. This can be done with only three open columns, as long as the other two have been claimed by the player who will be using the “duplicate highest row” بطاقة. Once all the conditions are met, simply play that special card and the remaining three columns will go to the winner.

Top Scorer – Win a game by points.

This is pretty self-explanatory. If the draw deck is completely exhausted and no player has claimed at least three columns, then the winner is determined by whoever has the most points.

Make a difference – Win by 1000 نقاط.

Make a big difference – Win by 5000 نقاط

Make a huge difference – Win by 10000 نقاط

These achievements can be gained by scoring significantly more than your opponent. This is easiest by playing against another player, so versus is a good way to go. بدلاً عن ذلك, you can create a total of eight profiles and go through tournament mode for more opportunities to get these achievements. Quite simply, the winner of the match has to win by points, and they have to have more than the opponent. على سبيل المثال, ل “Make a big difference” they need to have 5,000 more points than the opponent by the end of the match.

Needless to say, the score multipliers are critically important to getting some of these numbers. If a game starts with a player having one (أو أكثر) of these in their hand, then perhaps work on building up columns with similar icons until that player has several score multipliers or “take another turn” بطاقات. When the opportunity presents itself, play these special cards – and any similar ones that may happen to show up – before playing your rock, paper or scissors on the tableau. اِتَّشَح’t hesitate to destroy an entire column if you have to. If you manage to get your multiplier up to 16 – or even 32 أو 64 – you should be able to get the points pretty quickly. Then it will be a simple matter to run down the pile until the end of the game. Just make sure that no one wins by columns before that time, and that one of your characters has the required number over the other.

All In – Score 15’000 نقاط

I think this achievement may be bugged, and not just because of the typo in the achievement description. It popped for me when I won a match with 10,600 نقاط, rather than the expected 15,000. لكن, I have to wonder if it counts all the points won over the course of a tournament, since I was going through tournament mode when it happened. In any case, you may end up getting this one while trying to obtain the “Make a huge difference” إنجاز.

Adventurer Mode

Adventurer – Complete Adventure

Expert Adventurer – مكتمل 10 Adventures

Master Adventurer – مكتمل 50 Adventures

Adventure mode is like an extended version of the “Quick Play” modes. You choose your profile, then you have to play through a sequence of eight games against random opponents. You only have three lives, represented by hearts next to your character. If you lose three games, you lose the adventure.

لكن, there is a way to “cheese” هذا. If you feel like you’re going to lose the game, you can hit the “escape” key and either return to the menu or start the game over. This will count as a loss in your win-loss count, but you will not lose a heart. نتيجة ل, you can replay any match without losing any of your hearts. Just remember that you can’t hit the escape key while your opponent is making their play. So you need to think about what your opponent is doing and plan accordingly. أنا’ve lost quite a few games by the opponent suddenly coming from behind on the final turn to steal victory from me!

Also take note – by getting the “Master Adventurer” achievement you will have won 400 matches. So by using this technique you should make significant progress toward the “Incredible Winner” achievement as well.

أنت تستطيع’t see how many adventures you have completed, للأسف. You may want to keep a separate document open on your computer so you can keep a running tally as you go.

Clean Adventurer – Complete Adventure withou loosing a life.

Remember what I said about the game being riddled with typos? Not even the achievement descriptions get away with it. But this achievement also is bugged. Using the technique I mentioned above it’s actually pretty easy to win without “loosing” a life. But what Janken Cards wants is for you to complete adventure mode without losing a single game! This is much tricker, but with 50 chances to get through it, and once you develop a solid, consistent strategy, you should be able to get it done.

Tournament Mode

بطل – Win a Tournament

Mega Champion – يفوز 10 Tournaments

Epic Champion – يفوز 50 Tournaments

Tournament mode has eight players dueling it out in a bracketed format. Each round, one player will be eliminated from each matchup, and the winner will go against the winner of the adjacent bracket. So the winning player basically needs to win three games in a row. You can have the computer play the other seven opponents, or fill each one of them with “human” اللاعبون. لكن, take note that winning against all humans does not seem to count toward the tournament wins. (I’m still testing this out – if I find a way to “cheese” this part, I’ll update the guide accordingly.) Also note that you can’t use the same technique that I mentioned above in adventure mode to “cheese” the win. If you go back to the menu, the game will count it as a loss – and may lock up on you as well when you go back into tournament mode, forcing you to force-quit the program. (I did mention that the game is full of bugs, didn’t I?)
