Welcome to the world of Fanucci Cards, here you should find useful information to get the highest scores possible with the cards you have.
A special welcome to all the NON Clan of Zork players too...you're welcome :-)
Face cards are collectable from around level 42 onwards and are listed last.
For the original "Fanucci Cards Revealed" thread in the forum, please see here:

A great and easy to use card calculator can be found here:

Imortant basics:
Concentrate on building a good "Gambit" stack first. This is the one that provides an overall bonus to anything that can benefit from a fanucci score.
Concentrate second on the stack that best matches the majority of skills you are aquiring, eg: Mind/Body/Spirit.
Concentrate third on the stack that best matches the majority of other skills you are aquiring, eg: Mind/Body/Spirit.
Never put more than 2 cards from the same suit into any one stack, it is not counted for the score and is a waste.
Cards run from 0 to infinity, giving a total of 11 fanucci cards for each suit.
There are 15 suits giving a total of 165 fanucci cards.
Including the 9 face cards there is a total of 174 fanucci cards in the game.
There are 4 relationships between the basic card sets when placed together in the same stack, they are:
A.
6 Sets that are "friends" giving a 0% penalty when placed in the same stack: ;D This is a good, try and only use this way.
Ears, Mazes, Scythes
Hives, Inkblots
Plungers, Books, Zurfs
Tops, Rain, Faces
Bugs, Time
Lamps, Fromps
B.
2 Groups of sets that are "allies" giving a -50% penalty when placed in the same stack:
Bugs, Time – Plungers, Books, Zurfs
Hives, Inkblots – Bugs, Time
Plungers, Books, Zurfs – Hives, Inkblots
Ears, Mazes, Scythes – Tops, Rain, Faces
Lamps, Fromps – Ears, Mazes, Scythes
Tops, Rain, Faces – Lamps, Fromps
C.
3 Sets that are "Neutral Groups" giving a -100% penalty when placed in the same stack:
Hives, Inkblots – Tops, Rain, Faces
Ears, Mazes, Scythes – Bugs, Time
Plungers, Books, Zurfs – Lamps, Fromps
D.
3 Groups of 2 sets of "Enemy Factions" giving a -150% penalty when placed in the same stack: We don't like this way!
Bugs, Time – Tops, Rain, Faces

Hives, Inkblots – Ears, Mazes, Scythes
Hives, Inkblots – Lamps, Fromps
It is best to use "A." if possible for all your stacks because you will not suffer any penalties. This is easier to achieve the more cards you have. If this is not possible then try to only use "B." for hands you cannot place friendly cards in.
