It definitely comes later than other hands. By about ante 3/4 you can I'd say consistently score with them assuming good leveling and joker setup. Plus every boss that hides cards matters less.
It's not easy but [[stuntman]] and [[burning joker]] can effectively make your build. Also steel cards, blue seals and gold become much better if you can hold them. Which should help accelerate the build.
This is probably the most relevant voice I've seen on Lemmy that wasn't in tech.
Although it seems like building it under the highway was not a great move. Was there some benefit like the earth being dug up anyways when they decided to put it there?
