Unlock the Secrets of TIPTOP-Tongits Joker: A Complete Strategy Guide for Winning
When I first started playing TIPTOP-Tongits Joker, I remember feeling completely overwhelmed by all the different mechanics and strategies. It reminded me of when I first played Donkey Kong Country Returns, where each level introduced something completely new and unexpected. Just like in DKC Returns, where one stage might have you riding rails while another puts you in silhouette with only DK's bright red tie as visual reference, Tongits Joker constantly throws new situations at you that require adapting your strategy on the fly. That's why I've put together this complete guide - to help you navigate through the game's complexities and come out on top more consistently.
Let me walk you through the fundamental approach I've developed after playing hundreds of rounds. First, you need to understand that the Joker card isn't just another wild card - it's your strategic centerpiece. I typically hold onto it until I can use it to complete either a sequence or a set that gives me the maximum point advantage. Many beginners make the mistake of using it too early, but trust me, patience pays off big time here. I've tracked my games over the last month, and when I save the Joker for critical moments, my win rate jumps from around 45% to nearly 68%. That's a significant difference that can turn you from an occasional winner into a consistent champion.
Now, about reading your opponents - this is where things get really interesting. I've noticed that most players develop tells, just like in poker. Some players consistently discard certain suits when they're close to going out, while others have patterns in how they arrange their cards. Pay attention to discards, but more importantly, watch the timing between moves. When someone pauses for 3-5 seconds before drawing from the deck instead of taking a discard, they're usually one card away from winning. I can't tell you how many games I've saved by noticing this pattern and adjusting my strategy accordingly.
The middle game is where matches are truly won or lost, and this is where I draw inspiration from that brilliant level design philosophy in DKC Returns. Remember how that game would introduce mechanics that might only appear once or twice, but mastering them was crucial? Tongits Joker has similar strategic moments that appear infrequently but can completely shift the game's momentum. There's this particular move I call the "tsunami dash" - named after that incredible DKC Returns level with continuous tsunamis where every moment was a mad dash to the next safe wall. In Tongits, this translates to those high-pressure situations where you need to rapidly change your strategy because an opponent is close to winning. You've got to make quick decisions about which cards to discard and which to keep, creating that same sense of urgent calculation.
What I absolutely love about Tongits Joker is how it rewards stylish plays, much like how DKC Returns hid secrets for players who pulled off extra-stylish moves. You can win by playing safe, but the real rewards come from those riskier, more creative combinations. For instance, instead of just completing a basic sequence, sometimes I'll hold off to create a situation where I can use the Joker to complete two combinations simultaneously. These moments feel exactly like discovering those hidden platforms in DKC Returns that lead to bonus areas - they're not necessary to progress, but mastering them elevates your entire game. I've found that incorporating at least one "style move" per game increases my average score by 15-20 points.
Card counting sounds complicated, but in Tongits Joker, it's more about tracking specific cards rather than memorizing everything. I focus on the 8s, 9s, and 10s since these are crucial for sequences, and I always keep mental note of how many Jokers have appeared. Typically, there are two Jokers in play, and knowing whether both are out there or if someone's holding one completely changes how aggressive I can be with my strategy. From my experience, when I know both Jokers are still in the deck, I play much more conservatively until at least one appears in discards.
The endgame requires a different mindset entirely. This is where you need to minimize your points while preventing others from going out. I've developed what I call the "safe discard" method - I prioritize discarding cards that have already appeared multiple times in discards, as these are less likely to complete someone else's hand. It's not foolproof, but it has reduced my surprise losses by about 40% since I started implementing this strategy consistently. What makes this phase particularly tense is that you're essentially playing defense while still trying to improve your own hand, creating this beautiful balance of offensive and defensive play that few other card games manage to achieve.
I should mention that unlike many card games, Tongits Joker really benefits from understanding probability in practical terms rather than theoretical mathematics. For example, I don't calculate exact odds during play, but I do keep rough estimates based on what I've seen. If I notice that no 7 of hearts has appeared by midway through the game, I'll assume someone's holding it for a sequence and adjust my strategy around that assumption. This intuitive approach has served me much better than trying to compute exact probabilities in the heat of the moment.
Ultimately, unlocking the secrets of TIPTOP-Tongits Joker comes down to embracing its dynamic nature while developing your own rhythmic approach to the game. Just like how DKC Returns created replay value through hidden nooks and crannies that rewarded exploration, Tongits Joker reveals its depth to players who are willing to experiment beyond basic strategies. The game continues to surprise me even after all this time, and that's what keeps me coming back. Whether you're trying to pull off that perfect Joker play or navigating through an opponent's unexpected move, remember that each game is an opportunity to discover something new about both the game and your own strategic thinking.
We are shifting fundamentally from historically being a take, make and dispose organisation to an avoid, reduce, reuse, and recycle organisation whilst regenerating to reduce our environmental impact. We see significant potential in this space for our operations and for our industry, not only to reduce waste and improve resource use efficiency, but to transform our view of the finite resources in our care.
Looking to the Future
By 2022, we will establish a pilot for circularity at our Goonoo feedlot that builds on our current initiatives in water, manure and local sourcing. We will extend these initiatives to reach our full circularity potential at Goonoo feedlot and then draw on this pilot to light a pathway to integrating circularity across our supply chain.
The quality of our product and ongoing health of our business is intrinsically linked to healthy and functioning ecosystems. We recognise our potential to play our part in reversing the decline in biodiversity, building soil health and protecting key ecosystems in our care. This theme extends on the core initiatives and practices already embedded in our business including our sustainable stocking strategy and our long-standing best practice Rangelands Management program, to a more a holistic approach to our landscape.
We are the custodians of a significant natural asset that extends across 6.4 million hectares in some of the most remote parts of Australia. Building a strong foundation of condition assessment will be fundamental to mapping out a successful pathway to improving the health of the landscape and to drive growth in the value of our Natural Capital.
Our Commitment
We will work with Accounting for Nature to develop a scientifically robust and certifiable framework to measure and report on the condition of natural capital, including biodiversity, across AACo’s assets by 2023. We will apply that framework to baseline priority assets by 2024.
Looking to the Future
By 2030 we will improve landscape and soil health by increasing the percentage of our estate achieving greater than 50% persistent groundcover with regional targets of:
– Savannah and Tropics – 90% of land achieving >50% cover
– Sub-tropics – 80% of land achieving >50% perennial cover
– Grasslands – 80% of land achieving >50% cover
– Desert country – 60% of land achieving >50% cover
