Tips for Stone Cards

All credit goes to sab0t !

Just wanted to post a tip for anyone else that was like me and didn’t understand how to use stone cards effectively.

If you play a stone card alongside a hand, the stone card also gets scored, even though it’s not really part of the hand. So, for example if you want to play a 3 of a kind, and you also have a stone card in your hand, you can play it with the 3 of a kind and it will get scored.

I still haven’t used them much, but I think they can be pretty useful when your deck focuses on hands that use 4 cards or less, as you will then have ‘room’ to also play stone cards.

I thought they were basically used only when playing high card, and maybe for some weird combo stuff, but they are quite a bit better than I thought. Just wanted to post this for anyone else that didn’t quite get it at first.
